is there a way to be blocked from hospitals if you're worth enough money?

I wish I could stay out, and would do anything to stay out of them.

If you are worth enough money, you could maybe get everything done at home.

if I changed health insurance from public to private, would they release me more quickly?

Ending up in the hospital is my biggest fear.

Same here. I'd rather deal with things at home if possible.

Are you talking about your physical health or mental health

I don't understand the question either. Are you worried about being committed to a mental hospital? About dying in a hospital when you are old? Or just going to the hospital ever? Sometimes you are severely sick or injured and need a hospital. But if it's not that severe and you just want to leave you can. In the US you can leave "against medical advice," you just have to sign some paperwork.
