<prompt> Human: Long story short, I am Canadian. I went to Minnesota to visit a friend for a weekend, knowing it was only a couple day trip I made the mistake of not purchasing travel insurance. Our first night on the town I was drugged and became violently ill. In a panic my friend called an ambulance and I was taken to a hospital where theyd confirmed I was drugged and I stayed bed ridden for a few hours so they could monitor. Whilst in and out of consciousness during this whole thing id been telling them to stop treating me as I could not afford the bill. They insisted I shouldnt worry about it, though when Id left told me I can expect the bill in the mail. Im now back in Canada safe and sound and have just received a 2600 dollar bill I cant afford. What are my options?Edit : thanks everyone for your advice and input. It is greatly appreciated and has been very helpful!  <response>: Id take the unscrupulous approach and ignore it, personally. Its HUGELY unrealistic that this would affect your travel eligibility to the US, though its theoretically possible.
