"So far this year, Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center has filed more than 1,100 lawsuits for unpaid bills in a rural corner of Southeast Missouri, where emergency medical care has become a standoff between hospitals and patients who are both going broke. Unpaid medical bills are the leading cause of personal debt and bankruptcy in the United States according to credit reports." (from the Washington Post, by Eli Saslow.)
A pauper who lived in Missouri
was sued by his doctors in fury.
They wanted mazuma,
were in an ill huma,
and turned his poor life into slurry.
