Thanks for all the responses. What if my parents add a child someone to the deed of the house would that person be responsible for hospital debt. Also, there is a mortage on this house which is still being paid. As long as mortage is being paid can we keep the house from being seized if medical bills build up. The life insurance was cancel by fathers place of employment after sell of his company while he was on workman's comp from injury that resulted from work. Due to workman's comp clain he continues to be turned down by social security even though he is in last stages of cancer. This is in the state of KY.

Please add some more details. Here's some questions that really need to be answered to give you a good answer.
Did you mother sign any of the paperwork for his treatments? These would be the financial responsibility papers.
How is the house currently titled? Is it "Mom's name and Dad's name as joint tenants with rights of survivorship" or what?
What state are you in?
What other assets are there? Are they owned jointly with mom or someone else?
Why was life insurance lost?
Does your father have a will?

No, I think only Uncle Sam can do that. Just as credit card companies cannot take your posessions or garnish your wages. All they can do is sell out the debt to a debt collection agency so that they can call you every five minutes asking for a payment (not really, it's against the law). I'm sure they'd be willing to negotiate something.
Hope all goes well, wish you luck and sorry to hear of your family's circumstances.

Most hospitals can not by law ask for more money a month than what you can pay. If you only pay $ 5 to $10 dollars a month they can't complain. Check on the laws in your state concerning this.

Y'all need to consult with a reputable attorney as soon as possible to find out what your options are in this situation. When my mother passed in December 1992, the hospital accepted what Medicare would pay as payment in full. My dad did not need to come up with thousands of dollars to pay the bill.

I don't think so. As long as the bills are paid a little at a time, you are showing an honest effort to pay. That is sad that they would try and take his home I wish you luck

No they can't, assuming the house is in both of their names? This also applies to anyone who would try to sue someone, as long as any property is in both peoples name, it cannot be touched, just because one of them is getting sued.
