Since I see people suggesting Medicaid all over the thread. It seems there is a basic pervasive misunderstanding of government services in the US. For anyone who doesn't realize it, it is very difficult to qualify for Medicaid. Even if you miraculously qualify for it objectively, which can be derailed if you own anything or you or someone in your immediate family has an income, but even if you should qualify, the nuts and bolts process of applying, documenting, and in some cases liquidating your assets can be so daunting that it's common for people to hire lawyers just for this. If you're already busy dying, it can be fairly discouraging. Good job taking care of your own, Land of Opportunity. Make sure nobody accidentally gets anything unless their back is to the grindstone of capitalism.
