You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
If medical services were rendered, then you are technically liable. From a practical standpoint, if you are indigent and homeless, how could they ever collect? The chances are that this obligation will be written off by the hospital.
