@Joey66 will be along time soon with an explanation.
He’s just assisting the fire brigade in getting his missus down off the roof, where she’s be re pointing the chimney stack.
Average cost of hospital care for COVID-19 ranges from $51,000 to $78,000, based on age
When one factors in length of stay, the average hospital charge increased the longer patients were there, and they continued to vary by age group.
His tweets make sad reading.

Blimey. So if I was say a 56 year old bloke, in decent health, not fat, nor a smoker, roughly, how much would an insurance policy cost me? One that would cover everything.
Crikey.
Can vary widely across the country, how much coverage you want and if your employer helps.
But this will give you a feel for it - a 55 year old on a Silver plan (covers about 70% of out of pocket costs) averages $835 a month going to up to over $1000 for a 60 year old.
Average Health Insurance Rates by Age in 2026
Full-price health insurance plans cost about $589 per month at age 21. Rates go up to $752 per month at age 40, and $1,598 per month at age 60.

Holy cow.
Not being flippant, but I would take my chances if I am honest. As a self employed/temp retired bloke.
Lots do and sadly it is the reason why medical bankruptcy is really high.

Nikki's stay would have dented me, a lot, if we were in Merica.
As it was, it cost about £120 of car park charges. Mad how some there see the NHS as a bad thing.
edit. Just a thought; how do prescriptions work there?

Same way, out of pocket unless you are covered by a independent health plan or one of the government schemes Medicare/Medicaid and even then don’t always cover your exact drug or require a copay.
@RAFUH can give you all the gory details on coverage, probably with lots of swear words.
