you're about to pay that $14,000 hospital bill. Stop

call the billing department and say five words: "I need an itemized statement"

watch $14,000 turn into $3,200

hospitals send you a summary bill on purpose. one line. one number. one deadline. designed to make you panic and pay or ignore it until it destroys your credit

the itemized version tells a completely different story

every charge has a CPT code (Current Procedural Terminology). this is the 5-digit number that identifies the exact procedure or service. your $14,000 bill might have 30-60 individual CPT codes on it. each one represents a charge the hospital decided you owe

here's what you'll typically find when you actually read them:

$83 for a tablet of acetaminophen. you know this drug as Tylenol. CVS sells a bottle of 100 for $6.49. the hospital charged you $83 for ONE

$482 for "room utilization." you sat in a curtained area in the ER for 22 minutes while a nurse took your blood pressure

$1,400 for "physician consultation" when a nurse practitioner checked your chart for 90 seconds and a doctor you never met signed off remotely

$312 for "surgical supplies" for 4 stitches and a gauze pad that cost the hospital $0.74 in materials

$234 for "facility fee." this is a charge for being in the building. literally a fee for walking through the door

duplicate charges billed under different CPT codes for the same procedure

the chargemaster:

every hospital has a document called the chargemaster. it's a master list of every service and its price. chargemaster prices are set internally by the hospital with zero external regulation. there is no law governing how much a hospital can charge for a tylenol or a CT scan. the chargemaster is a fictional pricing document that has no relationship to the actual cost of care

under the Hospital Price Transparency Rule (CMS-1717-F2, effective January 2021), hospitals with 300+ beds are required to publish their chargemaster prices online. most hospitals bury the file in an obscure corner of their website as a 40,000-row spreadsheet that nobody can read. but it's there

pull it. compare what they charged you to what they published. then compare both numbers to the Medicare reimbursement rate for the same CPT code at https://t.co/OYp6CWUAOK. Medicare rates represent what the federal government has determined is a fair price for each procedure

the gaps are violent:

CT scan abdomen (CPT 74177):
Medicare rate: $280
Average chargemaster price: $4,200
Markup: 1,400%

basic metabolic panel (CPT 80048):
Medicare rate: $11
Average chargemaster price: $620
Markup: 5,536%

ER visit level 4 (CPT 99284):
Medicare rate: $268
Average chargemaster price: $2,800
Markup: 945%

the negotiation sequence:

call 1: "I received my itemized statement. I've compared each CPT code to the Medicare reimbursement rate and found that your charges exceed Medicare rates by 400-1,400% across 18 line items. I'd like to discuss a fair adjustment to bring these charges closer to market rates"

most billing departments have authority to reduce 20-40% without supervisor approval. push for 50%+

call 2: "I'd like to apply for your financial assistance program under your 501(r) charity care policy"

every nonprofit hospital (roughly 60% of US hospitals) is required under IRC Section 501(r) to maintain a financial assistance policy. if your household income falls below 200-400% of the federal poverty level (varies by hospital), you qualify for 40-100% reduction. for 2026, 400% FPL for a single person is roughly $60,240. family of four: $124,800

this means a family earning $120K/year may qualify for a 50-80% reduction at many nonprofit hospitals. they will never tell you this. you have to ask

call 3: "I've identified billing errors including [duplicate charges/upcoded procedures/unbundled services] and I'm filing a formal billing dispute. Please route this to your patient advocate for internal audit review"

the word "audit" triggers a different process. a compliance officer reviews the bill instead of a collections agent. errors get found. charges get removed

call 4 (the close): "I can pay $3,200 today as settlement in full. This resolves the account. I'll need written confirmation that the account is settled and will not be sent to collections"

hospitals would rather take $3,200 today than send $14,000 to a collection agency that will buy it for $420 and harass you for years. your lump-sum offer at 23 cents on the dollar is more profitable for the hospital than the collections route

if it already went to collections:

the collector bought your $14,000 bill for $280-$560. they'll take $1,500 and delete. but first, send the FDCPA 809 validation letter demanding the full itemized statement with CPT codes, the insurance explanation of benefits, and proof the remaining balance is accurate after all contractual adjustments

collectors almost never have this for medical debt. the hospital sold a spreadsheet. the supporting documentation went to a filing cabinet nobody will ever open. unable to validate = dispute with bureaus = deleted in 30 days

a woman came to us with $89,000 in medical bills across 4 hospital visits from 2023-2025. we requested itemized statements for all four. found $31,000 in duplicate charges, facility fees already included in surgeon's bills, and supplies billed at 2,000-5,000% above cost. applied for 501(r) financial assistance at 2 of the 4 hospitals. she qualified for 70% reduction at both

$89,000 original total
$31,000 removed (billing errors)
$58,000 remaining
$40,600 reduced (70% charity care at 2 hospitals)
$17,400 remaining across 2 for-profit hospitals
Settled for $6,200 lump sum payment

$89,000 to $6,200. 7 cents on the dollar. score went from 512 to 703 in 68 days after the collections were deleted

five words. "I need an itemized statement." the hospital is hoping you never say them lol

(i fix credit in 30-90 days. link in bio)

MEBENDAZOLE for 15 cents

People LOVED the Ivermectin for 10 cents post, so here were go again, but with Mebendazole 😃

You know the "wormer" that Johns Hopkins patented for treatment of Brain Cancer quietly in 2021 then didn't tell anyone 😉

Again, about 5 seconds of searching on IndiaMART:

Sigma Medex is rated 4.6/5 on 477 reviews and ships to USA, UK, Australia, Romania and Korea

13 cents per Mebendazole 500mg

https://t.co/XPbCc4lvTj

Or another one:

Gargi Pharma is rated 4.6/5 on 70 reviews and ships to USA, UK, Australia, Romania, Korea

14 cents per Mebendazole 500mg

https://t.co/boXX4LyohR

There are hundreds of options, and IndiaMART is a platform like Amazon or Ebay.

Remember those expensive Ivermectin and Mebendazole kits? Where do you think they get their medications from? 🤔😏

"Heidi was raised in a Jewish home in Iowa. Her father told her every single day that there is no God, there is no heaven, there is no hell. You are an accident of science. He also told her that Jesus Christ was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind.

Heidi believed in the God of Abraham and prayed to Him privately until she was 12 years old when she suffered terrible abuse from her synagogue's rabbi. That sent her into a spiral of drugs and dangerous situations.

At 16, the only thing that brought her joy was riding her horse Heather. One day she rode out to the hills bareback. Suddenly another horse spooked hers and she was thrown violently. Her horse rolled over her dead body. Her little sister watched and screamed.

Then something incredible happened. She found herself 40 feet in the air looking down at her own lifeless body. She could see everything below her. Then she noticed a bright white light near her shoulder.

She turned and noticed there was a man standing beside her. He had the biggest grin on His face. She said 'Hi, I know you.' It was Jesus.

She should not have seen Jesus. Her father told her He was a hoax. Yet every single cell in her soul knew exactly who He was. She knew Him. She had always known Him.

In Heaven she saw beauty beyond anything words can describe. Flowers where she could see every vein in every petal. Trees where she could see every single leaf. And the grass….the grass was literally singing praises to God. Everything was moving in His light.
He sent her back. And she came back completely changed forever.

He is real. She knows He is real. She has loved Him with everything in her ever since that day."

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

Her miraculous icon was stolen, carried across a storm-tossed sea, hidden for decades, and nearly forgotten.

It was then recovered because the Mother of God would not permit the world to lose her image.

This is its story. 🧵

Stay With Me, Lord
Prayer of St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.

Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak
and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,
and without You, I am without fervor.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,
and without You, I am in darkness.

Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.

Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.

Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You
very much, and always be in Your company.

Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.

Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is,
I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.

Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes;
death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength,
so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You.

Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it’s dangers. I need You.

Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread,
so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness,
the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.

Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You,
if not by communion, at least by grace and love.

Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it,
but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!

Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.

With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth
and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen

What to Pray When the Eucharist is Raised at Consecration

At every Mass, there is a sacred moment when time seems to stand still. The priest raises the consecrated Host high above the altar and says,
“This is My Body.”
In that instant, Heaven touches earth. Jesus is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, right before our eyes.

It’s not just a ritual. It’s a moment of deep adoration.
So what should we pray in that holy silence?
Here are a few powerful prayers you can say silently in your heart as the Host is elevated:

. “My Lord and my God!”
These are the words of St. Thomas the Apostle when he saw the risen Christ. A perfect act of faith in Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist.

. “Jesus, I love You. I adore You. I believe in You. I trust in You.”
Simple, heartfelt, and so pleasing to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

. “O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.”

. “Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
Said with true humility before the One who can forgive everything.

. “Jesus, I adore You with the Heart of Mary.”
Uniting our poor love with Our Lady’s perfect love.

. Whisper your own private intentions

The Elevation is the high point of the Holy Mass. Don’t let it pass by in distraction. Let your heart rise with the Host. Look at Jesus and adore Him. This is the moment He gives Himself completely to us, let us give ourselves completely to Him.
Next time you’re at Mass, be ready. When the priest lifts up Our Lord, let your soul whisper its love.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I trust in You♥️ .

Before leaving the door of your house, make the Sign of the cross, and say:
"I renounce you satan, your works and your service, and I am in Christ".
Never leave the house without these words. These will be for you a rod, a weapon an irresistible tower. Not only will people not be able to harm you, but not even the devil...
St. John Chrysostom

[Dr Taylor Marshall™️ @TaylorRMarshall]

This will blow your mind:

In the Eucharist, when we stand and listen to the Gospel lesson….

In the first decades of Christianity, before the 4 Gospels were written or circulated, at this point in the liturgy, one of the 12 living Apostles would stand up and tell a story they remembered about Jesus Christ (Gospel lesson) and then explain it (sermon). Then that Apostle would consecrate and distribute the Eucharist.

The 4 Gospels naturally took the place of the living Apostles over time. That’s why the Apostles commissioned the 4 Gospels. And it’s why we still stand - in honor of the Apostles sharing their memory of the very words of Christ.

Here we go.

The 2020 COVID Plandemic, with an engineered virus developed by our own Government, via Fauci and his corrupt crew.

And the the massive cover-up/censorship campaign they launched to try to avoid accountability for what they did, as they furiously tried to hide both the gain of function research and the fact they were using taxpayer's money for it.

Note she's releasing the COVID Plandemic Cover-up Report **before** she releases the 2020 Election Theft Report.

There's a reason the COVID Report must come first.

Because these ghouls took advantage of the COVID Plandemic to massively expand remote voter registration/mail-in vote fraud.

They MADE the Plandemic a key part of their election theft strategy.

Tulsi has to show you just how BAD their Plandemic cover-up was before she shows you how they UTILIZED the WORLDWIDE CATASTROPHE they helped cause with their virus to GET RID OF TRUMP by stealing the 2020 election from him.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

⚔️ ARMED AND DANGEROUS ⚔️

The Christian life was never meant to be lived on the defensive.

Too many believers spend their days overwhelmed by fear, discouraged by circumstances, and intimidated by the darkness around them.

This should remind us all of a powerful truth:

If you belong to Christ, you are not defenseless.

You have been equipped by the King.

The armor of God wasn’t given as a decoration.

It was given for battle.

When fear attacks, we have the shield of faith.

When deception comes, we have the belt of truth.

When temptation rises, we have the sword of the Spirit—the Word of God.

The enemy wants believers to forget who they are.

But Scripture declares:

“Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” — Ephesians 6:10

Today, don’t walk in fear.

Walk in authority.

Don’t focus on the size of the battle.

Focus on the greatness of the God who fights beside you.

You are not abandoned.
You are not powerless.
You are not defeated.

In Christ, you are armed and dangerous to the kingdom of darkness.

⚔️ Stand firm.
📖 Know His Word.
🙏 Stay in prayer.
🔥 Walk in faith.

The victory belongs to the Lord.

[Jared Howe @Jaredhowe]

Trump killed 50 of Iran's top leaders, did at least $1 trillion worth of damage to their military equipment and infrastructure, totally wiped out their naval fleet and air fleets, put their government in a state of endemic internal conflict, and left them totally incapable of meaningfully attacking their neighbors in the region any time soon. By the end of it, all Iran could do is rig the strait with mines and take pop shots at passing ships.

The loss of insurance coverage had more of an impact on the flow of marine traffic than Iran did.

I personally would have preferred the total destruction of the IRGC (which technically isn't off the table if they decide to FAFO) but it would have been difficult to accomplish without more civilian casualties -- something third worldist leftoids were already complaining (and campaigning) about.

In the meantime, consider the following:

No boots on the ground. No prolonged conflict. No permanent occupation. No military draft. No lasting impact on energy prices. No multi-trillion dollar boondoggle. None of the things anti-war retards with Israel tunnel vision like Dave Smith and Candace Owens predicted would happen.

In addition:

- Oil and gas prices are falling in time for summer and the midterms.
- "Free Palestine" third worldists like Graham Platner have less ammo on which to campaign for Congress.
- Russia is bringing in less revenue.
- The U.S. got a foot in the door to block China's Belt and Road projects.
- Trump has greater latitude to tighten sanctions on Russia without exacerbating supply shocks to energy markets.
- Europe and America have agreed to increase cooperation in providing for the national defense of Ukraine.
- Israel isn't a signatory to the MOU and isn't bound by its terms, leaving it free to independently defend itself from threats if necessary.
- America isn't creating a power vacuum for China and Russia to fill by absconding and surrendering its own influence over the region.

The people who say this is a "humiliating defeat" for Trump?

- Russia
- China
- Iran
- Democrats
- The leftist Drudge-led media establishment

All the worst people you know have joined arms and are pretending like Iran pulled one over on the Bad Orange Man in hopes that it will piss off Republicans and Israelis enough to get them to kill the deal themselves.

It's very transparent. Don't let your enemies control you with such a stupid and obvious Reflexive Control op.

But we do have a simple majority

Given the bill’s widespread bipartisan popularity, we could pass it with a simple majority—by debating it until it passes

Elon you have the heart and the means to help Cody Hudson. I pray to God you see this post.

[Heather Hudson @Amothersanthem]

🪽Living On a Wing & a Prayer🙏
Please pause. Please repost.
As many of you know, young Cody Hudson’s health has been facing a long, complex decline as he was left with terminal illness after his Covid-19 vaccines in 2021.

We have reached a critical point where his advanced heart failure and severe body-wide inflammation require more physical and medical support than our family can manage alone.

Cody’s physical mobility is heavily limited especially in the last three weeks as advanced heart failure has left him with pronounced, body wide lymphatic fluid retention. Cody is almost unrecognizable- he is so swollen.

He now requires two people to help him transfer out of bed or stand after a fall or get into a tub.

This means that I (mom) can no longer care for him without physical assistance from another person.

To assist with daily care, my husband is taking a necessary 30 days of unpaid FMLA leave.

This leave follows a month-long leave in March during Cody’s Orlando hospitalization from his 5th and 6th stroke and blood clots in his heart.

This leaves our family without an income this month and means we must pay increased prices for Cody’s medical care and prescriptions.

We are at the end of our financial rope. This is far more than we can bear.

• We are currently working to transfer Cody to a non-profit oncology (hematology) hospital in Tampa to pursue the life-saving immune modulation therapy that the Orlando hospital refused due to insurance (and vaccines).

• Remember Cody can’t have his open-heart surgery until he has this extensive immune modulation therapy.

He will need an ANGEL FLIGHT with nursing support to get to the Tampa hospital.

• As we coordinate this, today, we are also taking Cody to a consultation with a natural medicine physician to help manage his pain and systemic inflammation. As traditional medicine is failing him. This is a new doctor- all out of pocket.

• We are getting Cody this care on blind faith- hoping the medical freedom and freedom movement community will help and support us as we work to save Cody’s life.

Needed Help:

If you are in a position to help with Cody’s care and needs during this unpaid leave, as we cover out-of-pocket medical care and natural medications, your financial support would be deeply appreciated.

•Cody’s Give Send Go Link: https://t.co/Pg7NGsNDJC

•To help us spread the word: Please consider sharing this post with your network.

🪽🪽🪽Please pray for Cody and the injured. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you all for your continued thoughts, prayers and support. 🌤️
