[SO] The government is shut down...
- Thread starter SL83
- Start date
i was just taken to court recently for an unpaid hospital bill (broken rib)
didn't even get to see the doctor.
just under 1200 total for some xrays and shit
i was taken to court and i was absolutely shocked at how many people will settle just so they don't have to go before a hearing. a shady lawyer calls your name and does everything he can to force you in a payment plan.
i told them no i wanted a trial date. that bill is now a wash.
that's what I'm talking about.
people are too quick to sign very shitty deals. they think they have to. not paying bills is becoming a new hobby of mine (long story..) and I'm amazed with what I can get away with.
the worst possible deal you can get for not paying is what would happen if you were being honest and tried to pay it all off on time (what I used to do).........the more you procrastinate, obfuscate, the more of a discount and forgiveness plan they will give you. they will take pennies on the dollar if they think they can get at least something out of you. In most situations they just give up. or figure out that you can't bleed a stone that they have no leverage over.

I'm mission essential and have to report for work. We WILL get paid for it; it will just be deferred until appropriations are signed into law.
What is NOT guaranteed is pay for non-essential employees who are furloughed. That will only happen if specifically authorized by Congress and the administration.
Start with Dianne Frankenstein's ceaseless attack on the first and second amendment (through CISPA/SOPA/PIPA and draconian gun control.....to spilling classified secrets) and we will talk.
Dianne Feinstein should be prosecuted on Federal Espionage charges. by BadMoFo - TribalWar Forums
until then
I say. I see not where any of the shit they are trying to get into this budget is in article 1 section 8 of the US Constitution......as such, considering their oath to defend the constitution, treason should best be used to those maliciously trying to bankrupt this nation. Not those trying to roadblock the printing press and cash handout train.

I'm pretty sure they can put a lean against your property if they dig down on one side and let it sink a bit....
Procedure-wise I'm not sure how this whole thing was intended or supposed to pan out, but my employer dumped their part-time employees from their medical insurance (myself included), I've had my overall hours reduced to a cap of 29 per week.
Nothing about this health-care crusade has helped me, it has only cut my hours, and taken my existing health insurance from me. I'm now forced to use this market place bullshit to find an insurance provider that the government is now going to subsidize. I highly doubt that I could possibly find insurance as cheap as what I was already getting from my employer.
And if I find myself in the bracket of people that suddenly qualify for the 'don't pay a dime for this shit' category of people that have the entire cost subsidized then I'm going to be at a complete loss for words. I was perfectly content paying my way into a health insurance system that was there as backup plan in case something did happen and not by virtue of something I was entitled to.
I hated not having insurance when I played the russian roulette game of job hunting to find a part time employer that could work with my availability and be willing to give me the option for it. But not having it was incentive to find a fucking job that offered it. I don't share or want this sense of entitlement that people often fall into, that takes away from their incentive to work harder or to better their lives on their own merits.
This shit fucking sucks through and through.

If "it's a law", how did the requirement for business get pushed back a year? And why shouldn't the requirement for individuals be given the same consideration?

i'm not sure what the problem is

yeah why should anyone be entitled to healthcare, especially in a highly developed and wealthy country like the US?
if you can't find a job that gives you insurance then you should just die and stop sucking money from the true muricans who create jobs
