The answer to this question depends on what state you live in. Laws differ from state to state. In South Carolina, however, any state operated hospital does have the right and will keep state tax refunds in order to satisfy an unpaid hospital bill. The state will notify a person in advance via a letter.

What should you do when you break-up with your girlfriend she attempts suicide and ends up in the hospital is scared and alone and needs you?

Answer Either she accomplished what she wanted which was to manipulate you into doing what she wanted or she truly needs psychiatric help. Many times it is a ploy to get attention. Whatever the reason, she needs counseling and the hospital will (or should - they usually do) order a social worker or psychiatrist to see her while she is in the hospital. You should probably stick by her while she is in the hospital but don't lead her on. Be there for her for now but don't make false promises that you don't intend to keep. A counselor will help her work through it all.
