Financial Assistance and Other Resources for People With Cancer:Cancer imposes heavy economic burdens on both patients and their families. For many people, a portion of medical expenses is paid by their health insurance plan. For individuals who do not have health insurance or who need financial assistance to cover health care costs, resources are available, including Government-sponsored programs and services supported by nonprofit organizations. Cancer patients and their families should discuss any concerns they may have about health care costs with their physician, medical social worker, or the business office of their hospital or clinic.

In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Answer 2

Wow, your *friends* who claim to be in the legal field need some remedial training, and fast! Your parents are NOT entitled to the other 9 mos or whatever the remainder of the lease was that she skipped out on. Your parents need to do what is called *mitigating their losses*. That means, they need to find you a new roommate to make up for the $$$ they would have been collecting from her in rent. If they chose not to do this, they aren't going to get much more than a month perhaps of rent from her IF they can even squeeze that out of her. I think your parents need to chalk this one up to experience and maybe give up being landlords. Your parents would need to sue this girl in small claims to get any sort of money from her for rent.

Answer 3

Call the law school of the Universities in the city where you live. Directory Assistance can get the numbers for you.

Ask them if they take pro bono (free) cases and explain your situation.

If they don't, ask them to give you the number for The Legal Aid Office, hopefully, they can help you.
