What to do about medical bills when you have no medical insurance?

This is a common plight amongst many citizens in the US. There are various agencies (local and state) that provide limited medical benefits to those who are truly 'needy' or 'homeless'.

The other things to do is contact the place where the medical bills have racked up and talk to them about how you might make some form of monthly payments. Might mean giving up things at home like the internet, cable tv, mobile phones and the like, but when bills start piling up, matters must be taken to pay them before we can have the other 'luxuries' of life.

One needs to understand that the company the provided the medical items is also in business, and as such also has its own bills to pay, including the salaries of the medical professionals who provided the service.
