In Massachusetts it is the responsibility of the estate to pay the medical bills of the deceased. Only after they are resolved can the estate be closed and any remainder distributed.
What if your single mother died at the hospital she checked herself into the hospital now you're getting medical bills I'm the executor of the estate do you need to pay these bills?
The estate needs to pay the bills, not you personally. The estate has to pay off all the debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.
Who pays hospital bills of the deceased father are the beneficiaries of the life insurance responsible?
The estate or actually the executor of the estate is responsible for medical and other expenses as part of the distribution of the estate. After all debts have been paid from the proceeds of liquidation of the estate only then can funds be distributed to beneficiaries. The executor of the estate and beneficiaries of the estate need not pay anything out of their own pocket if the estate cannot pay for the entire bill. But if the expenses are not paid the hospital will certainly come after the estate and any monies that were distributed. Check the terms of the life insurance. If payment is assigned directly to the beneficiaries you may not need disburse funds to the hospital. On the other hand, if the life insurance goes to the estate, the hospital must be paid first if you don't want to end up in court.

The estate is responsible for medical bills of the deceased. That means before the estate can be settled, all debts have to be cleared.

Who is responsible for medical bills after death if there are no assets or estate?
If the estate has no assets, then technically no one is responsible. If the hospital (or whoever the money is owed to) decides to sue, they'd be suing the estate, which has no money, which is just pointless. The family can pay for the medical bills, but I don't think it's necessary. If you are the Executor of an estate, you should probably meet with an attorney anyway. This is the reason to create an estate. It provides an opportunity to gather all the debts, pay off whatever the estate can pay off, and have the rest officially closed off so that the debtors don't keep bugging the family.
In Ohio who is responsible for a dead spouses medical bills?
In most countries (I expect the state of Ohio would be the same) the debts of a deceased person are normally payed from that person's estate and would be settled by the executor of the estate as part of obtaining probate for the estate. If you are worried (and the estate has an executor) speak to the executor, otherwise seek advice from an attorney if the hospital is coming after you for the money.
