Only if the sister is her legal guardian. Next of kin cannot be held responsible for any type of bills or expenses unless (a) the next of kin is the person's legal guardian, (b) the next of kin is the co-signer on a loan or other contract, or (c) the next of kin is the executor/executrix of the person's estate and that person has passed away.

No. The person who incurred the medical bills is responsible, UNLESS the sister had legal custody or power of attorney over the adult.

Umm NO, you are suppossed to pay for this. Given the Hospital will not care who pays but they will not change your debt onto the name of your sister. If you are unable to pay you should call the hospital, and make payment arrangements with them.
