I wish her well, and will make a contribution.

We do, it's called Medicaid, funded by taxpayers. And surely the hospital has already made an application for it on her behalf, and the bill will be paid. If by some (nil) chance she isn't approved for Medicaid, all public hospitals participate in Title XX, which provides federal funds to pay necessary treatment hospital charges. So either way, the taxpayers will pay.
I agree with Tony404 on the insurance issue. If you're a "self employed entrepeneur" and can't afford health insurance, you can't afford to be a "self employed entrepeneur". It's sad to see so many people have bad things happen to them and they aren't prepared.
