And what happens if you get sick or injured so that it requires you to spend months in the hospital?

Which probably isn't going to happen, and if it does, where back to the problem I pointed out. A problem with paying for health care, not explicitly or directly an insurance problem.

Of course they do. I have many friends without health insurance and serious medical problems who do not see a doctor.

So they don't get health care. If its problematic for them (and not seeing a doctor when you don't have any symptoms or diagnosed conditions is overrated as a problem), the problem is that they could use health care, not that they don't have insurance. Insurance isn't the only way to get or pay for health care.
