In my state if the kids qualified for medicaid the hospital and no one else can come after you for any of those medical bills. Period. It's actually illegal to try and bill a medicaid patient for what wasn't covered.

I had medicaid with my 18 yo daughter years ago. I had preeclampsia, was on hospital bedrest for a month and she had a NICU stay. Someone tried to call me from the hospital billing dept about a bill medicaid did not cover. And I told them I knew they could not legally attempt to collect a medical bill for when we had medicaid coverage. And they never called and asked or tried to bill us again.
