Re: $80,000 medical bill

Hi,
I am e-mailing in regards to my father. My father is a very sick man that was required to go on Dialysis in December of 2013. He only had one kidney and it has stopped functioning. He has qualified for Medicare as a secondary insurance and between his regular insurance HUMANA and Medicare, his bills are being paid now. However, before he was accepted by Medicare, his dialysis bills totaled to $65,788.50 between 4/29-6/15 of 2013 and he has received a second bill for $23,390.67 for the dates of 6/24-6/28. My father can not afford to pay this. He is retired and just turned 50 years old (30-31-1963). He was diagnosed with a vascular disease in February and he has had to have both legs amputated and his fingers are now showing spots of dead tissue. What little income he has, is used to pay his every day bills. Since, he does not have legs, he is going to need sitters and other care which is going to be an additional cost. My father has had 4 amputations and 4 surgeries in the past year. Is there anyplace he can get help paying these two bills? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
