Why don't you want to merely go to another country for a operation, people do it by the 1000's every week, or travel to Canada for cheaper drugs, and the such. This is called being saving money.

Next why do you think the government should be paying for your medical bills ? Even if you were a citizen, if you come from middle class, you can not get free medical care.

Your parents are suppose to ( esp if middle class) have health insurance they purchase that will pay most of the bills.

But you arrange payment plans with the doctors and hospitals, this is common,

'i am not eligible for anytype of gov help wich I don't expect.'

OP isn't expecting gov't help.

Certain diseases are sometimes eligible for free care at university medical centers, but this isn't going to qualify, so you have no choice but to go to another country or pay a lot here.
