Can I be held responsible for my g/f's medical bills?

[Tommy2000GT]

She has no insurance and needed to have an emergency operation. She put my name down as the emergency contact. The bill is $30k so now she is applying for financial help with the hospital and the gov't.

I figured since we are not married, I will not be held responsible. However I was doing some research online and hospitals have came after the b/f for bill D:. Does this sound right? In case she doesn't qualify for financial help, I don't want to be held responsible.

Here is an example, she actually went to this same hospital

You have no legal ties to her and have not signed for any responsibility for the bill, so I'd say no.

 

[Vic Vega]

Tell them to fuck off.

Does anyone actually fall for these threads anymore?

 

[UglyCasanova]

I don't think anybody here falls for any thread where an ATer claims they have a gf

nope I never signed anything.

You won't be liable but your parents will be.

 

[Dirigible]

nope I never signed anything.

You're screwed regardless. She'll make you pay it.

The hospital can try and collect from anyone they want. Are you legally responsible for her debts? ANS: No. I've been seeing many couples where one would be a large debtor and the other would have all the money and real estate with no intent to try and balance things.

wat?

 

[Tommy2000GT]

actually no, she doesn't want me to pay. she is also afraid of the hospital coming after me.

So those couples can never get married otherwise the one with money will have to start paying the medical debts?

 

[rcpratt]

Not even slightly amusing any more. Good god.

 

[ichy]

Yes. You are going to be sued for $30k. Enjoy being broke!

 

[MayorOfAmerica]

She have AIDS again?

 

[Tommy2000GT]

Yes. You are going to be sued for $30k. Enjoy being broke!

$30k is not going to make me broke. But I don't want to pay.

[SheHateMe]

Is this surgery related to the $1300 purse you bought her?

 

[SunnyD]

She has no insurance and needed to have an emergency operation.

Well, considering they were your balls, yes, you will be completely liable.

 

[zinfamous]

she can just offer to donate your balls to science for compensation.

I'm sure you'll agree.

Oh, wait, I mean: too obvious.

 

[Tommy2000GT]

Not at all

 

[Murloc]
