$550 for me ... city fire department, and I was about to die from a freak intestinal problem.

They file for medicaid if they don't already have it. Fortunately for me, the SSA agreed with me that I had a disability that kept me from working and I got a check for 1 year in arrears of benefits just before the bill was 6 months overdue.
Then again, if it's a municipal service that screws you over like they did me, you can always give your story to the incumbent mayor's opponent for the next election.
