[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  You are definitely in a tough position OP and I commend you for trying to do the right thing.  It makes me think about the value of disability insurance in this situation--its not required in MD/DC/VA, but your post highlights a situation where it could be helpful.  I think ultimately you have to do what you can, but not at the expense of your own family.  I don't think you should feel obligated to pay her for her extended sick leave beyond her PTO that you have in her contract.  I have very good benefits at my job, but when I took an 8 week leave for illness I was not paid for that beyond my PTO.  Thats what short term disability is for.  You are going to have to pay someone else during that time and its not fair to you to do both.  Rather than helping her pay for medical bills (it sounds like she has insurance? if not, definitely help her get on the exchange and get a plan), most hospitals will set up very reasonable payment plans or even reduce bills with a simple phone call.  Good luck![/quote]
