Your primary domicile may not, but if you own more than one dwelling, all but one may be seized.

That depends upon the circumstances surrounding your finances and assets. There are laws protecting you regarding health and welfare. In the most extreme cases no one can take the shirt off your back. During extreme weather, shelter from that weather cannot be taken from children or those taking care of children or pregnant women. That means that in an all electric home, the electricity cannot be shut off due to failing to pay the bill. For adults who live alone, it's different. You are still protected, but not to the same extent. In your case, I cannot say whether or not you are in danger of losing your home.
I suggest that you find a financial adviser. They can help you talk with those you owe. You can come up with a payment plan. No one wants to take away your home. They just want the bill paid. The can and will work with you. In some cases, an adviser can also be a type of mediator. In some cases a lawyer can help you locate such an adviser. You might even try a bank. The main thing is to not refuse to pay. Pay anything you can. Even if it's just 10 dollars, an honest effort will be appreciated. Get help.

Yes they can take your house for unpaid medical bills, or at least they can in Texas. Well i should say they can if you own your home. But you should be able to work a deal with them over it these days people are a little better about that kind of thing . good luck!

Bankruptcy may be your only hope here, I'm afraid.... Theres are more and more sneaky steps being taken from Creditors any more, from liens, freezing accounts & taking all your money.. (Dont put any $$$ in a bank acct!!) Talking to an Atty is your best bet, esp if your bills are too over welming!
