The healthcare system has gotten away with secrecy so we need your voice
Friend,
On April 19th, 2023, Audry Sarno’s primary care physician was listening to her heartbeat through a stethoscope and told her he heard irregular rhythms. Sarno said he told her it sounded like atrial fibrillation (known as Afib), an arrhythmia, which could lead to blood clotting, stroke, heart failure, or other cardiovascular complications.
Sarno’s doctor sent her to the emergency room because she already had tachycardia, a heart condition that causes rapid heartbeats, even at rest. At the ER, she waited for eight and a half hours before medical personnel let her know that she, in fact, wasn’t experiencing irregular heart rhythms.Later, Sarno was served a medical bill exceeding $7,000.
Audry’s story is one of the hundreds we have received in our storytelling drive, proving that scores of people are affected by the healthcare system’s lack of transparency. Hospitals and health care have done enough damage. The secrecy and ambiguity surrounding medical bills have left people distrustful, hurt, and in severe debt.
Now is the time to act. Don’t wait, Friend. Time is of the essence because one day, it could be you receiving a mysterious medical bill.
In Freedom,
Hadley
