Life expectancy is right up with any other Country, I don't know why you think it's so poor.

I told you before that he could have been treated and not paid the bill...but just pay a token amount at the bill. If your friend told you anything different then your friend is lying. In addition you are correct...that is one reason people do not get insurance...and it is also a primary reason for high medical costs...people not paying the bill or even at the bill.
The fact remains that anyone in the U.S. that needs treatment...they will be treated...with or wThen why do people bother getting insured?
