I have an unpaid medical bill that has been turned over to a collection agency who is taking me to court. I do not have health insurance and do not have the money to pay. Could I go to jail?

Well....
The court action that the agency has filed against you is a civil not a criminal action. The judgment is to protect the creditor, and in most states, the judgment has to be taken first before any garnishment action. Therefore, no jail.
But..
If your going to the doctor was a visit with intent to defraud, you could possibly have charges filed against you but the odds of that are extremely low!
