   <p>When you go to the ER you will get a massive bill. If you do not take care of it, you could kill your credit score What a work around? Register with your free state medical if you don&#39;t have the bucks AND find out how to get the hospital foundation to pay your bill. <br> <br> You may need to submit some proof as to your low income or lack of assets but I have assisted a relative and his medical bill was wiped out and his credit score is excellent.</p>

   <p>Consider this.........health insurance is on a month by month basis. If you make an appointment in advance and instruct the doctor it is for an annual physical..........where you want a blood test that include a test for HCV, Then get health insurance for that one month. Then you will know. The first day in office the Tweeter in Chief signed an exec order telling gov agencies not to hit people up for ACA penalties. So if you do not have insurance for the whole year.........you may be in luck.</p>
