Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - Medical Assistance when there is a bankruptcy filing underway? - I'm looking for answers from those within the legal/medical community.

My husband owned a business for several years. When he became seriously ill, the company took on significant debt. Eventually, he regained much of his health, but his company still went out of business. He met with several financial advisors and lawyers, and they came to the conclusion that filing for bankruptcy was the only thing he could do.

He has another job now, which is a Godsend, though it pays him half what he made when he owned his company. The unfortunate thing is, it offers no health insurance. Neither does my job. I applied for a state run health assistance program, but realized that to finish the application you need a copy of your most recent taxes. Because my husband is still in the filing process, we didn't file 2008 taxes.

He's not dying anymore, but his immune system is still recovering from his illness and he gets sick a lot. Our medical bills are threatening to drown us in debt, and I am wondering if there is any program that offers help for people in our situation? -
