Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

My 38 year old son was taken to a local hospital by a sheriff's deputy who thought he might injure himself or someone else. After being admitted, he had his blood tested and saw a doctor. About three hours later he had been diagnosed as being alright and was discharged. He has received bills for the blood tests, doctor, and hospital totaling over $2,000. He has been unemployed for over 3 years, lives with his parents, and cannot afford the charges that he never asked for in the first place. What could happen to him if he doesn't pay the bills, and is there anything he can do to have the bills nullified?

Your son incurred the charges and those cannot be nullified just because he has no money. ON rare occasions, the hospital can write off the charges as a charity case.
