Indiana recognized that spouses may be responsible for "necessities", which can include medical treatment. I would certainly not pay any debt until the creditor makes that claim and sues you for it, however.

As long as you did not sign any documents binding you to financial responsibility, you are not responsible for anyone's debts.
