Ok say for example I got stabbed. I don't have mediacal insurance right now but if I was evacted to the hospital and the bill was i donno like $6000 all together could I sign up for insurance then and there? and would it be cheaper if I did that then to pay the bill in full or would I be on contract with the insurance company forever?

No, you can't get insurance after you are injured or sick. That's not how it works. In fact, without insurance, the hospital will charge you a LOT more than they would charge an insurance company. Maybe 3 to 5 times more. If it's a serious injury, the bill could be much more than $6,000. My advice: Try to avoid situations where you might get stabbed. And get some insurance if you can.
