Aren't you conflating healthcare with health insurance? I grew up in a time and a part of the country where few people had health insurance. We all still got all the healthcare we had need of. We just took our checkbooks with us to the doctor's office. After I was married, my husband and I didn't have regular health insurance for about nine years. During that time we had two children, but having a baby didn't cost that much back then. All we had was a very high deductible and very limited coverage type policy. It paid about half of the childbirth after the high deductible. We were fine with it and it was what we chose to have.
