In some countries like Sweden they have socialized health care for
everyone.  One problem with this is that people sometimes have to wait
for months to get certain types of treatment or surgeries.  See:

    Non-emergency health care with no money in the USA means you wait 
FOREVER.  Have cancer?  No insurance?  Ok, no treatment at all.  Zilch. 
Maybe charity, if you can find it. Hospitals only have to stabilize you, 
meaning they put you back out on the street in a day or two.
