False

Explanation:

At common law, a minor can be held contractually liable for items and goods that are necessary to the minors health and safety and medical expenses on health are one of such, others are food, shelter and clothing. While expenses on medical care provided to a minor is primary the responsibility of the minors parents, such minor can be contractually liable if the parents cannot afford the money.
