My mom is here in a tourist visa. She had a severe abdominal pain a month ago so I took her to hospital in emergency. I forgot to take her passport so I had to give my information to admit her. Now they send me a bill which is almost 2K. I send an email to the hospital but they said they cannot do anything. what should I do ?

U did great mistake of providing you info for your mother;s treatment . It depends upon what is your income level now. If you make below 40K just apply for finnacial aid to the hospital they will make arrangement. Try to negotitae with them for less amount . Or trying paying small amounts per month. If you are really not worried about your credit history just simply don;t pay it they can;t arrest you anyway . I don;t think that hospital is state owned. Otherwise state owned can issue warrant for you. As per my knowlege *Disclaimer--This is just an suggestion not any legal advice*

Whats your argument?  1. She has a proper Insurance and hospital should send the bill to her insurance provider. 2. I am the family member, but not obligate to pay the bill. She is here as a Tourist  but her billing address is same as mine. I am not going to accept her bill.  3. Hospital did not accept my  Installment payment plans. 4. American taxpayers should pay the bill.
