As to the engine and aircraft ... if anyone has read Colin's self penned articles they will be well aware of the levels he has pushed both to. I'm not surprised at the outcome.
please don't jump to conclusions and take your anti-Colin agenda somewhere else... who said he didn't have an insurance? Have you ever made a medical insurance claim? In some cases it can be pretty involving especially if the medical facility is in one country, but the insurer is in another. In most cases you will end up paying with your own cash for the service and then, when you have the receipts and everything sorted, you can go to your insurer and hope that they will pay at least some of it back.
Hospitals might refuse some parts of treatment if they don't see cash coming in for the services, I have no trouble believing that he needs money now..
