老實說,這都是老生常談的問題了。樓主後來列出的英文連接,解釋得很清楚了。以德州為例,減免要沒官非必須符合下麵全部四個條件:
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.
這與俺這個法盲(隻有Common Sense)第一個回貼的意思不某而合。
