call the billing dept, set up a payment plan...and then pay a little bit every month. if they are truly destitute, and only make a $20 month payment... the odds of them being sent to collections are slim to none. I know family who did that for 40 years.

if they make no payments...expect action.

>at all possible have you or your spouse get a job with healthcare.

not all jobs in Healthcare come with great health benefits. spouse and i both work in Healthcare and the best option for family is a 30k out of pocket max, terrible prescription cvg, referrals for everything and 250/500 for appts.

just being in the field isn't a Golden Ticket. do your research
