If in the future someone was diagnosed with something that caused him to became uninsurable and if you put that person in a program based on catastrophic insurance, would not such a lower-middle or middle-middle-class person run out of money eventually?

The medical costs for dealing with the catastrophic illness would be covered. Costs like annual checkups and such wouldn't be large. They might run out of money, but if so it would probably not be directly from the medical costs, but rather because the condition might cause them to be unable to work. That's an unemployment issue, not a cost of treatment issue.
