“Most hospitals in America are non-profits, which means they must have financial assistance or Charity Care policies. This is gonna sound weird, but what that means is that if you make under a certain amount of money, the hospital legally has to forgive your hospital bills. Let me show you how this works. Type in the hospital name with ‘financial assistance’ after. Should be the top link. Let’s check. What you wanna do is look for financial assistance applications and policies. Let’s check the policy. From here, what you’re looking for is a sliding scale of benefits. 0-300% of the poverty guidelines, they will forgive 100% of your medical bills. So you can see here that 300% is $37,470, so if you make under that amount, the hospital will legally forgive your medical bills. If you’re a larger household, you can check it out from here. If you wanna test it out, I run a non-profit that does this so DM me, and I will actually do it for you, and see if we can crush those medical bills.” The guy’s Tiktok handle is @dollarfor.

1. This generally doesn’t cover ANY preventative care, only sick visits and specialty visits.

2. Gynecological care is usually not covered.

3. Pay attention to which doctor you’re seeing! Even if you are approved by the hospital, the doctor/nurse you’re seeing may be a private practitioner within the hospital, therefore THEIR bills wouldn’t be waived.

4. Lab work, X-rays, and other diagnostic tests are generally not covered which means you’ll still have to pay for those.

5. Prescriptions are never covered. Use GoodRX.com to compare prescription prices and find the lowest provider. Additionally, tell your doctor you don’t have insurance. They’ll usually find the cheapest prescription, change the number of pills prescribed (fun fact, more pills can mean lower prices than less pills!), or even give you free samples!!

6. If you qualify for the charity program, chances are you’ll also qualify for the charity program for long-term prescription medications. Look up your medications manufacturer to see what assistance is offered. In some cases you can even get your medication for free!

VIDEO: Living Under Israel’s Missiles

Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.

More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”

1.) They will spend it anyway

2.) You were a terrrific asset to them during the time you spent with them

3.) Someone else will get it if you don’t!
