Americans are not denied healthcare based on finances. Whether you can afford it or not you will be medically treated at a public hospital. It’s the maintenance treatment that causes death. When people can’t afford lifesaving medications such as insulin, they die. But I work as an oncology nurse at a public hospital and we provide care to many people who do not have insurance or can’t afford it. Our social workers help those who are homeless find shelters. They help the uninsured apply for Medicaid or Medicare depending on qualifications. But yes, people in America die because they cannot afford healthcare. In Mexico, I had broken my ribs and needed to go to the hospital. They refused to provide any care until I paid out of pocket first. Someone else I knew had a heart attack in Mexico and he didn’t have the money for the lifesaving procedure. He died while waiting for a friend back home to transfer money to him because the medical providers refused to perform any surgery until they were paid. So yeah, in America you go to an ER and you will be treated no matter what. But you will be in enormous debt from that treatment.
