Hank would have a lot of resources at his disposal to disprove that story. Timelines, phone records, firsthand accounts of Walt/Heisenberg. The evidence against Walt might be circumstantial or hearsay, but there'd be nothing tangible against Hank. I must be missing what's so damning about the hospital bills, especially considering that Hank wouldn't need Walt to pay for anything in the scenario laid out. I suppose Walt could know that he's just throwing up a temporary roadblock.
I continue to get tripped up on the ricin storyline. I get it, but then I think of something else that happened with it and I reconsider. If I had seen those episodes more recently it might have been clearer at first.

Keep in mind that he already suspected Walt of poisoning Brock. Jesse even had a gun to Walt's head over it, and Walt had to convince him that Gus is the one that made it happen.
So when the exact same sequence happened as the last time- he was leaving Saul's office, bumped into Huell's fat ass, and then found something he smokes missing (last time, the ricing cigarette; this time, his bag of weed)- it clicked.

Watching Jesse have to bump into Huell again made me realize that they lifted his weed, but I didn't think he'd pick up on the ricin switch so quickly.

Regarding the confession.....Walt has all the leverage. His money is safe and therefore his family is in good hands. Hell, the carwash alone could probably keep them going. And, Walt could just disappear/die/whatever. If Hank is even suspected of being guilty, he loses everything. Well, he loses his job...which for him is everything. He is afraid of even telling co-workers at the DEA what he suspects because that alone could get him fired unless he has proof. What is Hank without his job? I mean, assuming he disproved everything to the point of avoiding jailtime, he still loses his job.....and then what. Go flip burgers?

I'm just gonna call bull [expletive] on the following going through a [expletive] up Jesse's mind in like 0.5 seconds:
Huell lifted his weed --> Huell also lifted his ricin cig --> Walt had Saul get the ricin cig --???>?> big loop here of something --> Walt poisoned Brock with a flower from his backyard to frame Gus in order to get Jesse to kill Gus once he found the ricin cig? I guess Walt really needed to make it look like he was being framed in order to frame Gus and finding the 'ricin' cig in Jesse's apartment allowed him to fully believe Gus was behind it.....but still.....bull [expletive] jesse put all that together. Even if he was sure Huell lifted the ricin cig.

No, if he's sure that the ricin cig was lifted by Huell, then his immediate thought is that Saul told Huell to lift it. If Saul told Huell to lift it, then Saul was informed by Walt that a) the ricin existed b) that Walt wants it taken from Jesse. Thus, if lifted, then Walt.
