Our hospitals are required to serve all. If you don’t have insurance but need emergency care we as a society humanely provide that service (at the expense of those actually paying for health care and taxpayers).
I would add one simple provision. If you are treated in an emergency room and do not have health insurance or an ability to pre-pay then you must show proof of citizenship. If you have no proof then you get sent back to your own country (after we treat you).
Very few will like this including the health care industry because they do not want to be in the border control business. It would also require some form of fake identity card that can not be purchased down at the liquor store for $100.
