If your ins was in force on date of surgery the ins co should be paying. It doesn't matter that you don't have ins now. The relevant time period is the date of service, not the date of billing. Contact both the hosp & the ins co find out why ins co not paying. Usually the hosp sends the bill to the patient so you will contact the ins co & start complaining. If it's remains a problem get back to me. Good luck!
