If one spouse has no health insurance can the other spouse be equally responsible for medical bills

While the general rule is that only those who actually incur debts under a contractual theory are liable, PA has a statute creating liability for family members regarding necessaries.  Although rarely invoked, medical providers are the most common such creditors. I trust this answers your questions, and, if you live in the Delaware Valley, do not hesitate to call or email me on a free initial basis. Best Regards,   Matthew R.
