I had an emergency room visit in May to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, an in network public hospital that’s in network of my insurance, I received a bill after my insurance paid out of $775. I am unable to afford that with my low income of $3000-$3500 a month and supporting myself. For two weeks I have been given the run around by the hospital billing company and I was given different phone numbers for the Financial Aid department of the hospital and never was able to get a hold of anyone. These numbers went to the same automated voicemail and no one ever called me back now today. When I called the billing office again I was told that there are no Financial Aid options for someone that has insurance (even if underinsured) only uninsured people which doesn’t make sense that I’d be given multiple numbers and then suddenly today I’d be told that there is no Financial Aid for me. The idiots on the phone also said there’s no reduction or hardship rates and “they don’t do settlements” and gave me a “main billing office” that I can call that’s above them. What can I do to reduce the rate? My insurance has already paid them thousands of dollars it doesn’t seem right that I should pay 700+ dollars. I can afford to pay maybe half of this if I scrounge up some cash. I can’t afford more than that even in a payment plan I can’t afford an $87 a month payment plan what should I do? I only make right now around $3000 a month which is very low for the high cost area I live in.

I am trying to find an affordable shield plus magazine holster.

Amazon has many universal holsters around $20 that list they fit many mags “including Shield plus” but does anyone have one of these and can confirm that it actually fit the smaller shield plus mags?
