It seems that a lot of people don't pay large medical bills. One that size would be impossible for me. I probably couldn't even afford the interest on it.
The hospitals don't flag your credit rating, but eventually they sell the unpaid bills to collection agencies, and then they do affect your credit rating. They sell the unpaid bills for pennies on the dollar, so making a low offer might work.
