They don’t die. It’s USA law that any emergency room must fully treat, regardless the ability to pay.

ABSOLUTELY. My son and daughter in law are both ER Docs and treat people every day with out health insurance. From life and death situations to “Well I just wanted to see if I was pregnant. OH, the stories they could tell.
But it’s OK for an INFANT to die because “mommy” got drunk one night!
You can go to the ER even if you are not an American citizen...even if you are there for flu sytems. You can use an ER like a doctor visit...My son broke his arm a few years back and we waited 4 hours to see a doctor while the ER was flooded with parents of children that had no more than a fever and cough.
My son eventually got seen, probably should of had surgery to repair the break at the growth plate at the time.
It was on Labor Day weekend and the ortho surgeon was not available so he got a splint and they put him in a cast on Monday for 8 weeks..He ended up with a club arm that cannot be fully stretched out and can never be repaired even though we tried through surgery twice. I have great private insurance! I cannot imagine what it would be like if the government held my policy.
