Re: husband filed wifes bills
It appears so. First bankruptcy does not cancel but gives the person filing life time protection against collection. They cannot collect from you. However if your wife was independently liable to pay for the medical service before the bankruptcy she remains so after your bankruptcy (which had no effect on her liability).
