For those not from Virginia, or just unaware, @uvahealthnews SPECIFICALLY is infamous for ruining patients’ lives with aggressive debt collection lawsuits. They steal sick people’s paychecks, homes, and lives—exploiting patients’ most vulnerable moments.

The founder/owner of Furaffinity has been murdered by our healthcare system, and its lack of humanity.
I never met him, but I'm still shook from this. I've been on his site for almost all of its existence. Almost 20 years now.
@ChangesEuphoric We need a mass overhaul of this system. It hasn’t worked for years, maybe even decades. So we should just scrap all the previous programs related to this and start fresh.
This is a very grim day for the furry community, may you rest in peace @Dragoneer
Thank you for all the things you did over the years. I, and many others, owe you a lot. The US care system is a joke. I'm actually very upset that I'll never get to properly show you my gratitude.
@ChangesEuphoric This is what our healthcare system does. This isn't a system that helps us, it hopes we die or get better before doing anything. Fuck America and fuck the american health system.
@ChangesEuphoric@Bringlydingle We’re a big enough community that we should be able to come together in some kind of meaningful way after hearing this sort of thing happening. This is tragic and infuriating.
The hospital had refused to negotiate the bill or apply charity because even though they have a lot of leeway in that regard, they refused to deal with someone who owed taxes despite having other bank statements available.
The Medicaid bit is particularly rough.
Even if they qualified, the system makes you go through so many hoops and fails to explain so many things that half the time it takes going into an office in person just to get them to do their job right.
If you're too sick, you're SOL.
