But the first time some poor person who didn't subscribe gets hurt and the network is not available cause they didn't pay a bill, I can see a big problem.

Can someone who chooses not to have a telephone in their home sue the county because they were unable to call 911?

The Onstar phone is already in the car. It's not the same thing. The equipment is there, it is functional, the network is there, people are standing by. There is no excuse for Onstar not to be available in an emergency.

If you lock your keys in the car, no. If you're in an accident, yes.
