<prompt> Human: I went back to the hospital in april of this year for a disease. I was in for a total of 9 days. I didnt know I had this disease. If I didnt make the trip when I did I would be dead today. That trip cost me 40000 and the little bit of health insurance I had didnt cover any of it. I lost both my jobs and that small bit of coverage I had. I was out of work for 3 months. As soon as I recovered I began to look into financial assistance with the hospital. This hospital has been giving me a run around and for their financial assistance they are getting way to personal for me. So I bring in my last 3 paystubs and hand them to the counselor then she asks for my bank statement. I go and give her the bank statement and shes like this wont do. She needs to see my transactions along with the bank statement. The bank statement had all info needed. So she wants me to bring back another bank statement with the transactions attached to it. I dont understand why she needs to see my transactions for that month. The reason she gave didnt make any sense. I called my bank and asked them if they ever heard of that much info being asked for. I had received financial assistance before at a different hospital and all they required was work paystubs and that was it. Im puzzled on this situation and I know I definitely need help with these bills, but I dont want to give all that info and I still owe a ridiculous amount. If I gave them that info and it forgives the bill that would be great. Any advice?  <response>: If you want them to help you you will have to give them anything they ask you for. If I was in your position Id be saying please and thank you with every request.
