Pan, I am sorry to hear of your medical bill nightmare. Something of course has to be done about the out of control healthcare costs in our country soon. I know it doesn't help you now but we will probably have nationalized healthcare in the not too distant future. My wife and I recently payed off our adult daughter's emergency room visit hospital bill. An hour or so with xrays gets up to a few thousand dollars very fast.

The least expensive plan my wife and I could find is over $300 per month for $10,000 deductible, meaning that anything over $10K a year, they will pay 80% of approved covered costs. We own our house outright and must protect ourselves from financial disaster.
