Only private hospitals can turn you down. No public hospital turned your friend down. They don't turn illegals down, you don't even have to speak...
Life expectancy is right up with any other Country, I don't know why you think it's so poor.
And hospitals bill you after you stay. If you gave them the wrong info, they couldn't bill you. Lots of people skip out on the bills, that's why hospitals like this rely on donations and your taxes.
