Flu jabs in the USA are free (??) — we have to pay for them in the UK.

Yeah chances are youd have medical debt by now. One time I got in a bike accident and it cost me like $500 with insurance
-
Actually closer to 1k. Just to go to the hospital for an hour and they tell me I was fine
-
Yeah, no doubt the USA is fucked.
Glad you were OK at least. -
thx! Funny enough I never paid the ambulance bill. A shady debt collector bought it w/o proof, I called them out on it and they went away
-
Woah! Horrible people! Is it a type of scam?
-
Nope. Just how things work. If you're overdue on debt (especially medical), the debt is sold to a debt collector, who buys it for a fraction
-
Then they call you daily & harass you until you pay. What is not well known is there is a law that regulates them, and they must show proof.

So if you demand that in writing, often they are too disorganized to care, and will simply be done with you. The whole thing is nuts.
