Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, if you qualify you can receive debt relief from medical bills and other unsecured debt, such as credit cards auto deficiencies, repossessions, broken leases and department store cards. These debts can be "discharged," or eliminated, through the "fresh start" liquidation features of Chapter 7.

On the other hand, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may allow you to consolidate your medical bills and pay off a portion of them over a three to five year period based on what you can afford.
