I mean there's been cases of people holding up hospitals, and people going without meds/treatment, and I think it might have been you (sorry if it wasn't!) who posted a thread a while back criticising how many people couldn't get dental care and sometimes had to wait in huge queues for charities to give them work for free.
If an American citizen broke a leg or was giving birth or needed drugs for a rare/severe disease, and
didn't have insurance, would they really not get turned away? Would they get the treatment they needed?
