A key part missing out of this story was her smart purchase of travel insurance, else she’d be bankrupt by now, if not dead.

Good move; I’ve purchased it myself when on a long trip in the event of a tour cancelation.

I wonder about her length of stay — she has been in the hospital for over two weeks and maybe still in intensive care. Complications (she is 68)?

Dead? Are you implying that the hospital wouldn't have treated her, would have turned her from the ER? Would have let her die? Doesn't happen...liberal kool-aid.
