NicMM,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad’s (and your) situation.
FWIW, many hopitals have a sort of charity arm, and can reduce the bill significantly. You might want to talk to them about it.
If this fails, do be open to seeking legal counsel.
Best of luck to you, and I hope your father gets better soon!

March 8, 2010 at 5:16 PM #522815desmondParticipantI will go against the grain here. Are you asking everybody else to pay for you dad? I am sure your dad would be proud of you, after all how many years did he pay for you? Does anybody ever do what is right anymore?

March 8, 2010 at 5:25 PM #522830CoronitaParticipant[quote=bubble_contagion]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.[/quote]
This is water over the bridge, but I would agree with this comment. There are some companies here that sell visitor insurance too, particularly if the person/people are staying for awhile.
Sorry to hear about your situation. But try negotiating with the hospital/doctors if you start getting the bills.
