Well, the fact that I'm a dumbarse isn't great news, but when I was figuring out our finances I somehow completely missed a pay period for both of us. So we're fine. We can probably afford to pay that medical bill off this month.
Phew, I am so relieved! And happy that I figured it out finally.
Re: Good news! I'm an idiot
This. We got 20% off of our bill. My friend had a baby about 5 weeks ago and she got 50% off hers. Same hospital as I delivered at too. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. You should definitely call the billing department before mailing anything in.
