Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

medical expense liability

My elderly mother has no health insurance and will be coming to live with me and my husband. She will not have health insurance for a while and I am counting on the free clinic for emergency help. My husband is concerned that the hospital will expect us to pay and we will be ruined. How do we protect our assets in case of a medical emergency?
