A friend of many of my friends was beaten up and hospitalized.

There's more information here.

He was beaten up for wearing a skirt, and has very little money, no insurance, and now hospital bills.

People are putting together paypal donations for him, but what I'd like to know, more than that, is what other recourse he's got.

I know I've got people on my friends list who know quite a bit about how hospitals are and are not able to help out the indigent. Anyone know anything about hospitals in Maryland?
