Default Donate A Dollar?

I found a doctor in Palm Springs that takes medi-cal but he says they don't pay him enough or don't cover his surgeons fees. I have to come out of pocket for $6000 Only $3000 up front Medi-cal is for low income people. Where the heck am I gonna get $3000- $6000( Any one wanna donate a dollar

If you have good credit there are finance companies that finance medical expenses. I can ask a friend when I get to work who she used.
