More details to this question:
My fiance and I live in Wisconsin, a community property state, and are marrying in December. We have no medical bills currently, but if the unforeseen should happen and one of us does generate costly medical bills, can a prenup specify that the spouse that incurred the bill is responsible for it?

A pre- nuptial agreement would only be binding on you and your spouse and not a third party creditor; the medical provider can still come after you for payment if the bill is incurred during your marriage as it presumptively served a "family purpose."
