Dave,
There is help if this occurs. I need to review the requirements and qualifications for AZ Medicaid (which I will do for you) but also most states have funds for situations like this (I woll get sepecifics for AZ for you)and most hospitals are equipped to deal with this in a number of fashions. You will not be refused treatment. Many will give discounts, free treatment, payment plans, write off balances, etc. Additionally, government facilties like county hospitals and academic health facilites are even more forgiving. There are also a number of resources to cover expenses in a scenario like this. Again, I will provide much more detail shortly for you. But please understand...there is help!
