One of my good friends about a decade ago had this very argument.
The right swore to everyone that hospitals can’t turn you away, they have to treat you and if you can’t pay for it they’ll let you out of it.
I was working healthcare adjecent at the time, I’m telling him Fuck now, that’s not how this works. It is a possible outcome.
If you walkin homeless, they might get you to the point where you’re stable and set you free, but as soon as you have a kid there and you have to give them an ID and a name, your chances of being fucked go up 10x

Yet then if you are a mother and don’t take your child to see medical care you are accused of child neglect and have them potentially taken away or you go to jail because you couldn’t afford to take them to the hospital.

And that’s the way the system is designed.
Keep the poor, poor, siphon the money from the averge go until he’s poor, more slowly sipohon the money from the upper middle class so they don’t feel it.
punish the poor for being poor, point at them and show how shitty they are for not taking care of thier kids.
