Employer/COBRA Insurance Anthem denied every part of my emergency surgery.

EDIT: I am getting this taken care of. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE ADVICE

August 20th/21st I had to have emergency surgery on my lower intestines. Removing 6 inches and being stuck in the hospital for 5 days. The surgery caused my intestines to stop working for two days. I was supposed to stay in longer/not go to work. But I ended up leaving on the 25th and returning to work the 1st. And yesterday I got billed over 123k. With anthem refusing to pay a single dime.

I don’t even know where to go from here. I’m just lost.

I make less than 35k a year… how the fuck am I supposed to pay that?

Correct.

That's why you need to understand your rights and stop blindly trusting others.

You think a medical doctor is up to date on billing law?

I have a bridge to sell you...

How is encouraging somebody to know their rights, being critical of the patient?

Do blindly follow authority figures without asking questions?

It's pretty obvious why that would be a bad idea right?
