That has included me, in the past. It is stupid easy to accidentally have a debt to a hospital. For families, sensible privacy rules at clinics can mean that it is very hard to choke point bills to a single person. To the point that I asked every time if I owed money when I did checkups to be told that we did not. Only to later find that my family did, in fact, have a bill due. For a while.

Recently I'm getting it with the stupid "anesthesia is billed separate from the surgery" nonsense. At least this time I noticed the bill. Why is that not a single bill, though? Imagine having to pay the cook, cleaner, server, and attendants all separately. So frustrating.
