You've got an absolutely great head start - Medicare.
So you're only talking about a supplemental.

Medicare sounds like a great thing, until you understand it only
covers 80% of your hospital cost. When hospital bills can easily go
$20,000-60,000 a day, 20% of that nut can be a number,

80% is a great head start. You'd have to be pretty ignorant to not know
that you need a supplemental.
It' blasted on TV every day.
Personally, I think Medicare should cover 100%.
Or the remainder past 80% after the recipient kicks in 10-15% of income.

The last time I was there they charged $40,000 for a half a day out
patient procedure and even with my "golden" plan, I paid $1,835 of
that. (just to the hospital)

There are not a lot of people who can write a check for close to two
grand.

Plenty do that every day. Car downstroke, big screen TV, new PC, new
furnace, etc, etc.
Your plan wasn't "golden" at all.
My +80 year-old folks on Medicare with a "gold" supplemental, that costs
them a total of about $4k a year, don't pay another dime.
Cancer treatment, joint replacements, rehab care, blah, blah.
Because they lived high and didn't plan that $4k hurts them.
But they don't complain about it. Just brag about how their health care
doesn't cost them a dime.
They're the ones who couldn't write a $2k check. Or a $500 check.
