1. When you give up, they win, and that is how they intended it.

I got insurance, then got hurt. They said since it is the first claim, they wanted all kinds of info. They were out of state, just like the Rethugs intend. So, you have an interstate fight with them. The only difference is, I was broke, and could not pay for it all. Then, when the lawyer settled the case, they offered each creditor a chunk. Most refused, as they get more from the tax writeoff. So, they likely sold the debt to debtcollectors. Collected on the writeoff, if not more, and didnt pay the original claim.
