Insurance Screwed Me Over
3 months ago
Tldr: My financial situation has changed. I need help.

The full story:
Late last March I had a panic attack. Part of that was due to getting inaccurate readings from my blood pressure monitor, but overall, I work customer service and the rent to my apartment would take up my entire paycheck if I was working full time and paying alone. That's why for the longest time my Ko-Fi goal was "Art Vacation". I started it when I was paying alone and dipping into the savings I built up living at my parents house, so the only way I would've been able to save anything would be through Ko-Fi or Patreon.
But even once things got financially easier, I still cracked on that day. Had to rush to the ER to get some tests done. After all of that, I asked if I could get an itemized receipt for the visit, and since I'm insured, the clerks told me that I only had to worry about the $50 copay. The next couple months came easier since I knew that whatever I was seeing on that blood pressure monitor didn't necessarily mean I needed to be rushed to the ER. And sometime a couple weeks ago, maybe early May I found out why the readings were inaccurate and I've since fixed the issue.
That said, I got an email last week from the hospital saying I qualified for a 15 month plan of $300 a month. I called to check in on why that was, they told me that I was uninsured... I'm sure y'all can see the problem there. I gave them my insurance information again and they told me I'll hear back from them in July, which is also when my first bill is due. I'm anticipating that nothing will come from that, so I've started up the Ko-Fi goal to tackle that.
