Perhaps you are not aware that the Emergency Room of any hospital in America is required by law to treat ANYONE brought to its doors whether the person can pay or not.
This is why many people who don't have health insurance have no choice but to use the Emergency Room.
(Mind you, you will still be billed for the Emergency Room care but they often/usually don't get their money and don't expect to.)
If 'Harry Simms' is the man in the song that Peace posted, the story you recount is suspect. And please note that the incident in the song dates from the 1940s.
