Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. An emergency room will sew you up if you are bleeding, or help you through a heart attack, but once the immediate problem is dealt with,you are screwed.
that is a lie. I know for a fact that M D Anderson, Ochsner, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, and every other major hospital system in the country will take and treat people with no ability to pay.
you are a victim of left wing lies. Even people in this country illegally receive treatment.
do you left wingers ever tell the truth about anything?
you clearly have zero clue about how things work.
rightwingnuts wouldn't know truth if it bit them. it's all that confirmation bias BS
Have you ever heard of medicaid? Check it out, it pays the medical bills of poor people and uninsured people.
No one was denied medical treatment in the US before obozocare.
I personally know of two young people who had CF. they both got double lung transplants and are doing pretty well, neither had any money or insurance. the hospital did not take them to court or try to garnish their wages.
you libs lie about everything to justify the failures and lies of your kenyan messiah. you are pathetic human beings.
You have to be dirt poor to qualify. If you have a job, the hospital/collections can come after you and garnish 25% of your pay, forcing many folks into bankruptcy. Idiot.
prove it. prove that anyone ever filed bankruptcy solely citing medical bills as the cause. You do not have to be "dirt poor" to qualify for medicaid or charity help with hospital bills.
you are repeating lib lies. are you a parrot with no operating brain cells?
I already proved it with my link above, Dingdong.
How Is Medical Debt Treated in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
As discussed above, medical debt is treated as a nonpriority unsecured debt in your Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This means that your medical debts will not receive priority if the trustee is able to make any payments to your creditors. Even if a portion of your medical debt is paid through your bankruptcy, the remainder will be wiped out when you receive your discharge. So if you are struggling with large amounts of medical debt, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be your easiest and best option to relieve this burden.
Are There Limitations on Discharging Medical Debt in Chapter 7?
There is no limit or cap on how much medical debt you can discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
However, you must still qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In order to qualify for a Chapter 7, your income must be low enough to pass a disposable income means test. Further, even if you pass the means test, filing a Chapter 7 may not be in your best interest if you have a significant amount of assets you can’t exempt. (To learn more about Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the means test, see our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy area.
