			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not exactly sure what the first $21,odd thousand dollars was for. Apparently not much as I am now getting more bills from the anatheseologist, the pathologist, the ultrasound technician and the emergency room. </p>
<p>Actually the original bill was $54, some odd thousand dollars, but they gave me a $32,000 uninsured person discount.</p>
<p>And just as I predicted, the Financial Counselor told me not to worry about running around and getting my paperwork together because there wasn&#8217;t a deadline, yet today I received a letter from the hospital saying that I did not meet my 30 day deadline for turning in my paperwork. Although, they are going to be <em>nice</em> and give me another 30-day extension.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided to just take as much time as I need tomorrow and do all the running around and get this crap taken care of.</p>
<p>Maybe I should just declare myself homeless? </p>
<p>How do people with more serious problems deal with this &#8230; </p>
