Should people die if they cannot afford health insurance?

Believe it or not, people have died because their insurance company dropped them and/or refused to pay for treatment, or they had no insurance at all. Just watch Micheal Moore's Sicko to realize this disturbing reality. At any rate, do you think it's allright that people die because they dont have the means to pay for their survival?

Of course not, and that fact that Americans are defending this type of health care system is quite troubling. To everyone saying that hospitals have to treat you: if you go into the emergency room with a serious condition, they have to stabilize you and then send you on your way. Expect a huge bill in the mail the next day. However, if you have something like cancer, or need some type of transplant, there is no way that you are even seeing the inside of a hospital without an insurance company willing to pay your bills. Vienna: you're in some serious need of a reality check. Which countries are bankrupt? Canada is one of the only western words with a SURPLUS while the US is the one in deep financial debt. As for life expectancy, people in Canada tend to not only live longer than Americans, but have overall healthier lives. You should double-check these 'facts' of yours.
