Is this a joke I am too not-American to understand?
Yeah. The bill is real but st judes is a charity hospital. Joking the only way to pay his debt is rob a charity
I still don't get it. Is 100k the bill or his account balance after the bill was payed? And if it is the bill why is it listed under "other adjustments"?
I think 100k is the amount he still owes. Looks like he had a follow up or something that added $250 and insurance covered $175. Context is he had a seizure in the shower and was in the hospital for a month. A lot of plans you have co insurance after hitting your deductible where you split any further costs with the insurance company say 80/20. So it's possible he only ends up paying $20k of that, or his bill was much higher and $100k is what he owes after co insurance
