State statue of debt limitations

According to this link delinquent debt has a limit of 3 yrs in Mississippi -- http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/cc/20040116b1.asp?print=onk

Be aware that the 3 year statute of limitations for debt collection doesn't apply to the state, or state entities. Therefore hospitals which are considered county hospitals are state entities and the statute of limitations never runs against them. These hospitals can seek to collect bills which are older than 3 years.

Six years for open accounts in Tennessee. If six years passes and a hospital or doctors office has failed to file a lawsuit, you are given absolute defense meaning you don't have to pay. Like an immunity of sorts.
