So, what's your life expectancy in the USA if you get seriously sick and don't have a private medical insurance policy ?
That's something like 25% of the US population.

The serioulsy sick are always treated, whether they are covered or not.
It's the law and hospitals stick to that law.


But they're not given top quality treatment are they ? It's quite limited in scope AIUI. Worse than they'd get under our NHS for
sure.


"AIUI". That's the problem. You don't live here and you do not visit
such people at the hospital. For example, people who have exhausted
their retirement savings or who are on welfare. The care is pretty good,
actually.

The problems are in an area that the health system cannot influence. For
example people who exhibit a haphazard pattern when taking their
medications because that's how they approach life in general.
