No one is denied health care. Everybody knows someone that has gotten free medical care. Go to any health department and sit a while. Atheist btw.
The only ones who get free healthcare are the illegals. Everyone else (without insurance or a way to pay) ends up filing bankruptcy - another kind of death.
Hospital billing departments are notorious for their inflexible policies where repayment is concerned, and they're pretty quick to sell a patient's information to a debt collection agency. Medical care through a hospital ain't free.
If you need a vaccination or condoms, the health department is the answer, but they don't treat cancer patients or people with heart disease.
