Are you responsible to pay your ex back if they paid for you to get medical treatment?
Unless a legal agreement existed prior to their paying the bill, no.
If someone (an ex, a friend or even a stranger) pays a debt we owe we are not under any legal obligation to pay them back, but we are under a moral and ethical obligation to do so, if we can - or as soon as we can. And the greater the difficulty they had in affording what they paid, the greater is our obligation to pay them back.
No-one can oblige us to act upon our moral and ethical obligations, but ourselves and our consciences.

To what extent are those who are smokers responsible for their own medical conditions?
In Canada, no one is responsible for their own actions. Someone else is always on the hook for the choices other people make. If some smoker gets cancer in Canada, they get free medical treatment, paid for by the tax dollars of their fellow citizens. People who abuse themselves should be responsible for the expenses of their own health care, not the rest of us.

Rear end accident not at fault party can the insurance company of the at fault party legally deny to pay any medical bills until claim is settled?
It's been my experience the answer is yes. We also were rear ended, the other party was completely and totally at fault. This caused me to have to get a lawyer as the insurance company was not paying the medical bills that were accumulating which I would have ultimately been responsible for. The Dr's were not interested in treating as well because they weren't getting paid. Having a lawyer guarantee's that the Dr's will be paid, you will get the treatment you need and you will not be responsible for the expensive medical bills. It also simplifies the billing process. If you receive a bill at home put it in the mail it goes to the lawyer. You will not have to spend hours on the phone trying to figure out who is billing who or lose sleep over whether or not you would have to be responsible for the huge expenses. The insurance company won't pay out until you have a medical release, but how are you going to get a medical release if they won't pay for the treatment. Makes no sense.

If someone is ill and has had lots of medical treatment and has no insurance when that person dies who is legally responsible for the bills?
A parent of a minor child is responsible for the child's medical bills. In many states, a spouse is responsible for the other spouse's medical bills. A parent of a grown child (18+.) is NOT responsible, nor is a child of an aging parent, unless someone signed the hospital or physician's form as a responsible party. If the deceased is an adult with no dependents and no one else signed a form to take financial responsibility, then the estate of the deceased will be responsible for the medical bills. If there is no cash in the estate, the provider is simply out of luck - they cannot chase after relatives in an attempt to collect the debt. If the deceased left a sum of cash or assets, then all outstanding bills should be paid from the estates assets prior to distribution to heirs.
Are parents responsible for deceased children debts?
