Hi Larry,
I'm sorry for your recent misfortunes.
Upon speaking with both your Doctor and the Hospital, you cannot be turned down for surgery because you have no money. You can be put onto a payment plan instead and can ask for a sliding scale. Explain everything to both the Doctor and the Hospital that you've explained here in Yahoo Answers. The hospital and the Doctor(s) will work with you.
Have a lovely rest of the day. Happy Early Thanksgiving.

The price of knee joint replacement surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.

Unlikely. You're better off trying to get Medicaid and SSI for disability. Then you're surgery will be totally FREE!
