My question is whether my medical bills will try to be collected from my family. I am single with no children and live with my mother. I'm not going to seek treatment if so.

You really sure of that, Mark? I know I need medical attention but simply can't afford it and will deal with the repercussions. Just want to be reassured that the cost won't fall on my family. Thanks for your input.

Check with SSI (Social Security). I think they have ways of helping. If that doesn't do it email me at: mati1owl@yahoo.com and ask me to check with my sister. She had a friend who needed and got help. Maybe she can find out where her friend found that help.

You've got a great Country..but I feel bad when I read these stories.. I'm Canadian and Medicare is free.. I can't imagine being ill and not being able to seek medical treatment..
Wish you the best..

If you are 18 your family will not responsible for your medical bills. Besides, you should never forgo medical treatment you could end up very sick...
