You will be surprised how much bureaucracy is involved to do that, as states are attempting to cut down on Medicaid, which discourages many from attempting it.

I work with refugees everyday (as a volunteer). I see who gets Medicaid first-hand. The system is fast, responsive and easy. At the user level there is no bureaucracy. And being found not eligible for Medicaid does not mean you don't get medical care.

For those at or near the poverty level, not eligible for Medicaid, there is a free clinic in town.

Also, every hospital in America that receives federal money (most do) is required to provide emergency care to everyone regardless of ability to pay.
