>have $30k saved up
>recently got a ER bill for $27,356.02 not covered by insurance

Any payments you, as a person, make to a hospital are the cherry on top to them. 90+% of their revenue comes from insurance. If you put in 15 minutes to talk to them on the phone you can generally set up a payment plan or get them to write off a huge chunk of it.

This. I won't call the bottom now but I'd rather buy crypto and pay the minimum than to pay everything and lose all of my savings. However, if you didn't plan anything with your 30k then pay it off.

Dont tell them how much you have but if you want to pay it ask for a cash discount or make a offer like youll give them 15k cash in whatever denomination they want. They may counter but they may take it or like the other said talk about a payment and how its going to take a long time to pay it but your trying and ask comely how much they would take cash if you could come up with some money.

if you don't make a lot of money on paper, then you can get government assistance pretty easily if you're below the poverty threshold.

When I was younger I had a seizure, the ambulance ride and ER bill was around $7,000. I wasn't making money at the time, applied for Medical and it was completely covered.

Listen to me, I know what I’m talking about. Don’t pay it, when they call you tell them you can’t afford it and set up a payment plan. Don’t pay any of it. Right before they send it to collections, call and tell them you can afford it and want charity care. Don’t pay that either. Right before they send it to collections call and tell them you want to settle and see what the offer.

If you don’t care about your credit, you can let them send it to collections and repeat this process. Then settle for much less.

If you care about your credit pay the settlement. Absolutely do not settle for over 4k
