How to report someone who is lying to get out of hospital bills?

A coworker's boyfriend who is unemployed and trying to get on disability, food stamps, whatever he can for free, recently had a hospital stay and my coworker is writing a letter to lie about his life so that they don't have to pay their hospital bills. She's going to say they don't live together and his parents don't help him at all. He has a boat that should be repossessed if he's not going to pay his bills. She already had a mechanic pad the estimate when she got in a wreck so she didn't have to pay a dime for her wreck. Is there any place I can report her? I have insurance and pay my bills, and I believe she should too. She buys fast food every day, orders things online, and then complains about having no money. I don't buy ANYTHING for myself just so there's enough to pay the bills.

Update:

tonalc, the hospital already wrote off 75% of his bill. I'm asking for an answer, not a judgement.

It's not right that she spends so much and works the system to avoid paying her bills. It's even worse that she brags about this to whoever will listen.

    You need to know the boyfriend's name, and the hospital he went to. They would love to hear from you if you have information that will allow them to do a little research and bring in a couple extra thousand dollars.

    She sounds very annoying and needs to be stopped! Go get 'em!!

    Oh, please. If writing a letter to a hospital about how poor you were would get you out of paying the bill, their mailboxes would be stuffed.

    And also, you could MYOB.
