Thank you for adding me, my husband has stage 4, he went to,hospital last night. He has no medicare and I'm scarred. I'm on oxygen 24/7 and i pay for his meds out of my ss check. Don't have money for someone to come in. I desperately need help.

The hospital should have a patient advocate. Ask to speak with that person, and ask for help getting some kind of medical coverage for your husband. I know here in New York state most hospitals have financial assistance programs. He may also qualify for the states medicade program. The hospital should be able to help you apply for any available programs he may qualify for.
