Some facts about American health care:
If you are poor, you get medicaid, no questions asked. Don't believe me? go to the NYC Medicaid website.
If you are wealthy. enough said.
If you happen to fall in between, making say 30k to 75k a year, you do have options; sliding scale programs, low income programs or horror of horrors; actually paying for a program like an HSA for instance (high deductable with major medical coverage).
Health care is not a constitutional right in the US. we are not a comunist nation. We believe in being self motivated and being self sufficient. If you can't hack it, quit your job and collect the aforementioned Medicaid program, lord knows, thousands of illegal immigrants already do. So stop your griping about American medical coverage, there is no crisis except for the fact that too many are too lazy to actually pay for medical care. they believe it to be an entitlement like in Cuba. Which by the way has pretty big issues besides medical care; such as human rights issues, no free press and a nagging case of dictatoritis.
