one of My Friend Diagnosed with Right Lung Collapse, His Iqama Expired so No insurance.
He is also jobless, so unable to Pay the Hospital Charges, Currently he is in Riyadh Care Hospital.

Yes, unfortunately Gov hospitals are for Saudis only.
Who is his sponsor? by Saudi labour law, his sponsor must provide medical insurance until his sponsorship transfers to new sponsor/employer whether he is working or not.

Wa'alaikum alsalam dear brother,

I suggest you contact his embassy to process his leave to go back to his country and get medical help or if his Embassy are willing to pay his medical fees, otherwise God forbid he'll die without medical assistance ASAP. May God help your friend to have a fast recovery insha'Allah.

Salam
