So sorry you are going through the no insurance gambit. I didn't eithor, and had multipal surgeries. I went to the hospital that was designated for state patient help. Filled out multipal forms, financial disclosure etc. I also talked to the doctor himself about my lack of insurance. Many doctors have compassion and will reduce their fees. Many state run hospitals can help with patient advocacy and getting your bill reduced. Things cost even when you do that, but you have a better chance on not having huge bills. Ginnie
