Holy shit. I just got a huge ER bill knocked down by SEVENTY PERCENT because I listened to a Tumblr post that said to call and tell them you can& #39;t pay that. I know we all know this but truly, America is a SCAM.

I threw in ‘income has been affected by COVID19’ for good measure and they were like we can put you on a payment plan or give you a discount. I asked how much the discount was, they said 70% and my jaw legit dropped. They didn’t ask me for anything else. That was literally it.

WHILE YOU’RE HERE! I write books! They’re pretty awesome and have won awards! My next novel THE DEATH OF VIVEK OJI comes out August 4th and you can pre-order it now! Thank you! http://akwaeke.com/the-death-of-vivek-oji">https://akwaeke.com/the-death...

I write full-time and buying my books helps me pay my medical bills as I’m uninsured and chronically ill, so while you’re scrolling, please check out my work! http://akwaeke.com"> http://akwaeke.com
