My husband moved to another state 4 yrs ago, left me with no money.  I am 76.  Will I be responsible for his medical bills?

Probably not.  Might depend on which state he is in, but I wouldn't worry about it.

I put in the "which state?" caveat because of a community property related concern.  But neither Pennsylvania nor Wyoming are community property states, so it doesn't apply.
 
Is there any jointly owned property?

Thank you so much.  I couldn't see how I would have to pay them, but didn't want to be surprised.

You are quite welcome.  I assume you and he do not own real property together.
