The costs around my city are outta sight. A stay of even 2-3 days would be in the thousands, possibly hundred of thousands. I cannot imagine paying out of pocket for that. I just do not keep that much money in my checking account.

I asked about this too, you can get medicaid if you get hospitalized and spend a certain amount.
If you have out of pocket expences equalling up to 2000, then you can get Medicaid. I think it is still based on your income, but it is not as strict as it normally is. You have to still pay that first 2000 but they do help with future bills.
