My plan is to get it via a hospital which accepts public funds. This requires them (by law) to offer a payment plan that works for my income level.

I'm fine with """paying $1M dollars""" via a monthly bill of $50 or whatever until I die and the rest of the debt evaporates.

Which is a rich-world perk. (That, to be clear, we absolutely should offer our people.)

Side note: do you have a link to more on this law? Currently dealing with an uninsured friend for whom we’re pooling resources for a medical treatment.

Certainly - here's the CFPB's page on it:

Note that this is for lower-income households

Is your friend in the US? If their income is low enough they would qualify for expanded Medicaid or ACA subsidy.

I always wonder if they take assets into account with this?
