No dental insurance afterall, am I in trouble?

I am currently working at a hospital a total of 20 hours a week. You need to work at least 24 hours a week to be elidegable for insurance. My boss said that I would be getting "more hours soon" so I called the hospital and they sent me the paper work for the insurance. Shortly after, I had a root canal done. This root canal cost $807. No crown. I told him about my situation and he said he would hold off on charging me and would see if the insurance would cover it in a few months. Well, the insurance didn't go through after all and I am stuck with the bill which I am hoping my family will help me with. Can I get in trouble for any of this? I am only asking because the secretary keeps calling me and she sounds mean. :-( She doesn't understand what it's like to be a poor college student.

Well, you're going to have to pay. So what does "get in trouble" mean? If you don't pay the bill, eventually they'll send it to collections, and get a judgement against you. Then they'll be able to collect interest, too, and get an attachment against any wages - current OR future.
