My fiance spent all of August in the hospital with a rare blood disorder. He didn't have insurance because we are getting married at the end of the October and I was just going to add him to my plan then. Big, big mistake but we can't change the past. When he was first admitted to the hospital they had a financial person come up and to talk to him and the guy just told him he made too much for any assistance and that was it. Now the bills are coming in and it's totaling $150,000! He called the hospital to set up some sort of payment plan and all they can do is divide it by 12 months which is $12,500 and still outrageous. He set up an appointment with the MnSure person yesterday to see if could qualify for any assistance because he was out of work that whole time (and still not back to his usual duties) and didn't have any income. She still said he made too much money to qualify for anything.
We're not sure what to do next. His aunt mentioned filling for bankruptcy but I'm not sure what that would mean for us and our future. I feel like there should be other resources out there but I'm not having any luck.
