A lot of medical debts in collectors are of people who don't even realize it.


I got a ding on my credit score for not paying for an x-ray at BR General once. I called and the Hospital and they said they couldn't get in touch with me. I told them I worked on the other side of the hospital. Bunch of idiots

LOL
The only time I've ever been close to having a debt issue was due to a Ochsner bill for $2.97.
Out the blue I get a letter that said it was my last notice and the debt would be turned over to a collections agency.
They had never called or sent me anything about iit before that letter

Wait, one of the poorest and least educated states in the union has the highest percentage of debt in collections?

Stop the presses.


Next you'll tell me we have super high crime rates and low average income.

I had my tonsils removed at 21 & had my own insurance & was still covered on my parents as a secondary.
BR General kept filing them wrong (parents as the primary) until they sent in to collections.
Thankfully the person handling my account had half a brain & was able to get it straight.

It’s a shame people can have their credit messed up over an uneducated office worker.

The governor of 20 months? see how stupid that sounds when you look at our problems?


You blamed the idiots at the Capital, not me. It would be idiotic to blame Edwads or the legislature for decades of cronyism, malaise and screw ups. The current pols are not to blame, but they should be charged with making things better.

I could list 10 thing we could do that would help but none of it will make through the legislature.


So? You don't count unless you are the governor or a legislator.
I listed three things Edwards has pushed. Are any of these things going to make decades of screw ups better?

Raising taxes won't, giving more free stuff won't and neither will handing out more and more incentives with our vital tax dollars.

JBE has no plan to change the status quo and that's obvious after 20 months. Now maybe you do. Forward you ten things to him, he needs help.

Said in true Huey Long fashion. Yes, great idea, make Edwards dictator.

Fwiw, if this is one of your ten ideas; please keep them to yourself. This is embarassing.

If you are 35 and under and have any type of skill or education get the frick out. Things will only get worse here and the idiots in BR dont have a clue whats going on around them.


I'd like to hear your opinion on fiscal policy regarding the state, and how you think we can attract better industry and jobs?
