I have heard the same thing about payment. If send something they have to accept. If not. Would check Local support from legal and see what options there are. I can assure you that you are not the only ONE to be facing this. Take some time and ask for help with local legal advice. Please don't give up. Once we give up it seems like we get buried fast with all the other crap. I am positive that the federal government has funds that cover certain bills with the hospital as well. Hang in there, thinking of ya.
