<prompt> Human: Admittedly, the reason for me visiting the emergency room was entirely my fault and my parents are completely justified in making me foot the bill. I am employed but only work part time as a minor, and only work 10-16 hours per week. I have about 500 saved up so far to pay, but the bill which i only just received the invoice for is due on the 13th and a total of 1,399.The reason for the emergency room visit will get me in trouble if it becomes a problem with law enforcement. Like I said, my parents are entirely justified in making me pay the bill, but I am currently not in the position to have the extra 900 in the next 8 days.This total is after the insurance company has paid for what they will cover 2,321.20 of the total of 3,720.20. My parents have suggested creating a payment plan with the hospital over the course of the next few months to pay it off. While this is a good idea, is there anything further I can to meet the total? I have heard about writing hospitals for a certain amount of liability forgiveness, but am unsure about how well that works. Thanks for the help.  <response>: I see how your parents are trying to make you responsible for your actions which I dont see it as a bad thing. Im sure you will learn hour lesson that way.Call the number on the bill and tell them you can make a 50 payment every month toward the bill and set it up automatically, they will agree to your terms without an issue since at least you are willing to pay. Most people dont care about paying them.I went through something similar with a motorcycle accident which my parents were not ok with me riding the bike in the first place so I paid off my debt slowly. Also just had a son 2 month ago, insurance deductible was 1250 and I did this again and it worked.Good luck and handle this yourself, then you will be shutting them up about it :
