No one has to make that decision in the US. Truly "lower income" people are available for discounted or free medical care. Almost every state has a very low cost insurance plan for those making as much as $45K per year for children under the age of 18.
In addition, most hospitals and doctors will work out low or zero interest payment plans for bills.
