For the responsible person and one who pays attention and is diligent......None declare bankruptcy.
Because they know if they run through the hoops with the hospital administrator asking for time and low monthly payments.....their debt to the hospital will eventually get turned over to the "loss" category.
But if one just sits on their butt and cries about it and tries to ignore it.........Bankruptcy is a sure thing.
My wife is a nurse and has seen it many times.
The person who makes weekly calls and is persistent(a pain in the butt) about trying to do something about their bills....most likely will get turned over to the "loss" file.Might take a few years though.

While socialized medicine has its issues and perhaps is not as advanced, I have never once heard in all my years with coworkers, friends and extended family being denied care, and in fact my mom was in last stage Leukemia and the doctor still wanted to treat her.
No one here has to run through hoops, and I am sure if I was ill with cancer or any other life threatening disease the last thing I would want to deal with is hospital administration or worry about how I would pay the bills.
