What is the name of your state?MS
My wife and I had a child in Feb. My wife had HELLP syndrome and almost died before they did a c-section to deliver the baby. Our daughters medical bill was $77,000.00 and we got that covered by Mississippi's CHIP program. My wifes bill is $23,000.00 and she is not eligible for any help. We do not have the money to pay this debt. They have already sent this to collections and they of course want it all within 3 months. We can pay about 200.00 per month but that is it.
The only things in both our names are a home bought in Sept 03 and our bank accounts. My wife was not able to work for 6 months before the baby and is not able to work now. My question is can they come after me for my wifes medical debt? If they sue and get a judgement can she file chapter 7 to get rid of this debt? Will this affect our mortgage are bank accounts? Everything else is in my name and we can live off of what I make for as long as needed and I have good credit so not a big problem there. We have NO other problems with money other than the medical debt, which is a huge one.
Any advice is VERY appreciated?
Thanks
