Hot Like Ebola!!!: Wow. Hallelujah, Lord!

So, remember this post? I do. It was not that long ago.
Matt and I decided to call the various medical places today and get our bills sorted out. First, I called the hospital to dispute the X-ray costs, since they mere medically unneccesary and we didn't consent to them. The very kind woman I spoke to told me how to write a letter of dispute, then said this:
her: "It shows here you don't have insurance. Are you still working at PetStore?
me: "Nope, no job."
her: "Well, how much income are you and your husband bringing in now?"
me: (telling her)
her: "Well, your income qualifies you for a 11 percent write-off. And since the bill is less than 1,000 dollars, I can write it iff without you even needing to fill out a form."
me: "Wha?"

So, that was 860 bucks, just absolved. Whoa.

Then I called NW orthopedic (the big bill). I was feeling bold, so I decided to ask if I could make payments with no interest, since we'd be able to give them the 1,100 from our church as a starting point. When I called, the woman told me it would be no problem to do that. She then said she was going to call the doctor and see if we could get a discounted bill, since we were broke and could pay almost 1/2 of it up front. About 30 seconds later, she called me back.
her: "Well, I talked to the doctor, and he said he'll just write off the other 1,400. He's glad you could pay half!"
me: "Wha?"
her: "Yeah, it's like winning the lottery!"
Me: "I just won it twice in one day!"

Whoa.

All in all, we were absolved of 2260 today. The Lord is so good! SO GOOD!!!
