<prompt> Human: A friend of mine ended up having to go to the hospital due to throwing up 3 days straight and not being able to eat anything. He said he was there for a total of 4 hours and was only told to eat something and stay hydrated. All this apparently equated to a 7,000 hospital bill.He says he has no way of paying off this bill. Its a very unfortunate position hes been put in. Its sad that he told me that he would have been better off had he not gone to the hospital.Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how he could handle this?  <response>: Does he have insurance?
