老实说,这都是老生常谈的问题了。楼主后来列出的英文连接,解释得很清楚了。以德州为例,减免要没官非必须符合下面全部四个条件:
1. The waiver is not offered as part of any advertisement or solicitation;
2. Waivers are not routinely offered to patients;
3. The waiver occurs after determining in good faith that the individual is in financial need; or
4. The waiver occurs after reasonable collection efforts have failed.
这与俺这个法盲(只有Common Sense)第一个回贴的意思不某而合。
