I personally think that was a lie, but only because when she mentioned trying to get weight loss surgery she said "I wrote the check that night". If she had insurance why was she trying to use money as leverage to get the surgery? The cost wouldn't be as substantial if she was covered, she wouldn't be paying full price like she implied.
Because maybe the insurance she has won't cover it? Because maybe this fancy doctor she was puffing up about doesn't take her insurance? Because maybe that doctor she was puffed up about isn't in her network? Maybe those are reasons she was prepared to write a check?
You're not wrong, but we could just go down this line of reasoning forever. Like, why would she go to a doctor that didn't take her insurance? Why would insurance not help cover weight loss surgery for someone with a 100+ bmi? She's either lying or not.
Because for some reason, she was hepped up on this particular fancy ass weight loss doctor. Amber said she wanted the surgery NOW. I suspect she thought money could buy her way out of all the requirements and compliance weight loss surgeons expect.
She's either lying or she's not about what?
At some point, you need to be more than your trauma.
Resurrecting the supposed unpaid medical bills reddit uncovered because relevant:
Depending upon the healthcare network of the facility, it's possible Amber has burned many a KY dr, urgent care, etc by not paying her way. She might have to present a check even with insurance to settle any previous debt before they'd allow her to open a new tab, so to speak.
Ohhhh, so THAT'S why she's so fat... She's only trying to SURVIVE, guys! You just don't understand her!
ER isn't able to turn her away, but if she's got outstanding debts at dr offices they can absolutely turn her away until she pays her debts. (that is if they haven't gone into collections at that point, but idk about that.)
Last I checked, and it's been a while, those collection suits in small claims court were cleared. She either paid them or settled with the collection agency out of court, because I was unable to find them any longer.
great idea just pump em full of as much insulin possible and watch them collide for days like sea elephants
