Effects of unmanagable medical bills
A while back i got a medical bill and on the back side there is a form for people to fill out that cant afford the bill and turn it back in. It wants you to list assets and income. Particularly property.
Just how far can they go on what you own to collect for medical bills? Lets say the property is paid for, free and clear and was your only house, your primary residence. What would they do to collect a 5 or 10 thousand dollar medical bill? Could you be foreclosed upon? Or would it just be a lean that would be due at the sale of the property?
