Check with the "billing department" of your hospital and ask if they have financial assistance program. There usually are such assistance programs in most hospitals and low income full time students usually do qualify for those. They might need copies of your current bank statement and last year's w-2 form. If you do qualify, they will try to talk to you about how much you want to pay a month. See if others have better suggestions. Good luck!

If you have a good credit score then you can apply to peer to peer lending programs like lendingclub.com For an excellent score, you will get loan for around 7%.  It might help. Last edited: 15-Nov-10 08:15 PM

Free healthcare is socialism, even more it is communism. Hence, US should neva neva have a free healthcare for all.
