Connecticut law (C.G.S. §19a-673): if you are uninsured, your income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level and Medicaid has turned you down, a hospital and the clinicians billing through it may collect no more than the cost of your care (its charges times its cost-to-charge ratio), which is usually well below its list price. Ask the billing office to apply it. Other states' laws.
