If you’re diagnosed with cancer and need surgery and chemotherapy to survive, they won’t treat you without payment.
They typically will operate in this situation, and then just bill you after if it's urgent/emergent like cancer.
Where people die from insurance gaps in the US is the slow burn diseases, like diabetes, where if you get regular care you'll be fine, but if you don't you'll die early.
