Again, because this is such a singular event, I don't see him being left with the bills at all. I think either the university supporting the experimental treatment would fund it so they could write about or the CDC would cover it because he's patient zero.
As for the post-hospital specialized help costs, yeah I see your point. But when it's all said and done, I just don't see her leaving her dad's side. Jack would fight it, of course, because he wouldn't want to be a burden, but I also don't see Kim backing down. Especially since Stephen is a doctor. I have a feeling she would use that to her advantage.
I think in the end, Taylor's staff would help with the financials of it, but logistically and emotionally, I could see them relocating him to LA with Kim when the need for critical monitoring has passed. All they'd have to do is give Stephen instructions on things to do and keep an eye on and anything else, they could coordinate through the CDC office in LA.

And I fanwank that he got help from them too, but as soon as he went out of the country, he went dark and I don't think he stopped and took the time to get checked out until he was waaaaaaay past the borders and all.
