If I lost my wife to cancer, a $3,000 unpaid hospital bill would be among the least of my worries. I’d find a way to get that paid in her memory. Even if I had to get an extra job for a while to pay for it (not sure how old this guy is).

Over $3,000. might be $3,999, probably less. I lost my wife last year and her unpaid medical bills were around $500. Hospital sent me a letter saying "pay up" or "fill out this multipage form giving us a colonoscopy of your finances."

I wrote back and said payment arrangements have already been made and congratulations on p*$$ing away the goodwill that might have resulted in a donation many times that amount.
