OT: father is visiting and hospitalized by stroke

[Eugene]

I agree with Brian. As long as you did not sign any papers, they can’t pin your father’s debt on you.

Beatrix and Brian, thanks for the comments.

What papers that I should not sign? In ER room, I signed most of the paper for my father with his name. But there was one paper for transferring to hospital, I was asked to sign my name and put relationship to him. I did it.

I heard that some people don’t pay their medical bills and just disappear. But I have a residence address and will not disappear. Although I can say my father is a different person, and these are not my bills, would debt collectors be stopped by these words? That seems way too simple and hard to believe.

let me chime in and give my 2 cents. Is your father from a country that requires a visa to enter the US? If so, you, or whoever commenced the tourist visa invitation is liable due to the “affidavit of support” clause within.

If the above isn’t true, then….STOP giving your name to the hospitals, I think you can ignore the collectors.

My in-laws always buy insurance before visiting from abroad. My wife demands this from them to avoid the situation you just described. Travel insurance is very common in Europe. I guess they are aware that medical costs in the USA are very high and not covered by the goverment. My advise would be he pretends to be an illegal alien.
