Not if the bills are for medical care given after the date of filing. If you unintentionally omitted pre-filing medical debts, you will have to file a motion to amend your Schedule F and Plan, file the amended F and Plan and be able to pay the new plan amount. If your plan has just started, or was less than 60 months, it may not be a problem.

Consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer in your area.

Assuming these are medical bills incurred after your Chapter 7 filing and you received a discharge, and they are for medical services for you, not your husband, they will come after you. You should consider filing a chapter 13 to pay them off in whole or in part, depending on your income and expenses. If your husband has a bankruptcy lawyer, he should ask the lawyer. You may consult your own lawyer.
