The funny thing though, it is so common for medical bills to get to collections that it doesn't effect your credit rating like other bills would.

I heard that too. I have 2 bill in collections from 6 years ago, still negatively impacting my credit score. The 7 year mark is coming up in two months so I will see how it affects my credit.
