In addition to the advice given, G. should contact the hospital (not the bill collector) and see if she qualifies for their charity care program (since she qualified for Medicaid in the first place, I expect that should be able to get it). Hospitals are willing to work out payment plans with patients also.
I have to admit I'm pretty horrified that Medicaid won't cover anesthesia in a delivery. May the rule makers who thought of that brilliant condition have to pass a golf ball size kidney stone. Jeeze.
I don't agree that the aparents are responsible if that wasn't the arrangement upfront. It's possible that they have as much trouble coming up with $1,300 as G. does.
