You you are saying that no American is denied treatment simply because they can not pay???
There are places one can go in America, some hospitals and/or clinics, that won't turn away anyone, regardless of whether or not they are insured, or can afford treatment. It is not possible, however, to get the best possible care if you are uninsure or can't afford it.

From experience, I was briefly denied medical care at Sloane Kettering Memorial Cancer Center, one of the top cancer hospitals in the world (and one of the most expensive, too) because I didn't have acceptable insurance. Large successful private hospitals may turn away patients at will, but the smaller nonprofit hospitals will typically accept anyone. The level of care, of course, is significantly worse.
