What is the name of your state? New Jersey
My son has been hospitalized due to a blockage in his colon. He doesn't have any insurance & the Doctor has informed him that they won't operate unless he can get $2000.00 of the $7000.00 cost of the operation. This is a public hospital.
I'm in another state & I don't know if the Hillburton is still in effect or what options he has since they say he will die if the blockage isn't removed. Is this legal? The patience advocate hasn't gotten back to him yet. At 37 years this has caused his pressure to rise dangerously high & of course he's extremely depressed. He has been hospitalized for over a week.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
