Answer 1

The student can go to the financial aid assistance office at his school and ask for help.

He/she can also ask for assistance at the Social Assistance(Welfare) Office in Florida.

There has to be some type of help for people who are not able to pay a bill.

Answer 2

Most hospitals have assistance programs for people that meet the minimum financial guidelines. Check with the hospital's Business Office or Financial Counseling Office. Don't delay-once the account goes to collection, it is much harder to get any financial assistance from the provider. Unless the student meets medical criteria for medicaid, (s)he probably won't qualify for it.
