Lyman Sornberger, executive director of patient financial services at the Cleveland Clinic, said "all indications" at the outset are that she will be considered for assistance.
"She may be eligible for state Medicaid ... and/or she will be eligible for charity (care) of some form or type. ... In my personal opinion, she will be eligible for something," he said, adding that Canfield should not be worried about losing her home.
"Cleveland Clinic will not put a lien on her home," he said.

When I was hospitalized in April 2009 with spinal meningitis, I had a hospital/E.R/doctor bill for over $16,000 worth of treatment for a 3 day stay. All but $80 in charity co-pays was written off to charity. I'm thankful to Christ for that treatment.
In addition to the over $16k in treatments, I also received over 3 months of physical therapy. I got that care for a TOTAL cost of $0.00 (due to being unemployed at the time).
