OHHH! I see!
So in your country it's not free, unless you fill out a form, then it's more expensive for everyone else. Gotcha. Sounds like a dumb system to me...
What if a foreigner gets hit by a car in the US, is it free for them if they cannot pay?
Yes the wait lists can kill you, and for a lot of people this does happen.
However, if they have the money they can help to alleviate the wait by paying your medical personnel to treat them in America, which means they don't have to wait, and one less person is in the line.
So our system would not be ideal if we didn't have you as neighbours, or someone similar. But as it stands, no one here gets unfairly burdened by poor people getting medical attention. It's not free, I mean, we pay taxes..
