Do you really believe that all people in the United States actually do not get the medical treatment they need? Are you kidding?
The only ones who don’t are the insane and/or drug addled street people, or those that just don’t ask.
Anyone needing care gets it. No one is turned away at the door. If they are at a private hospital and are stable, they are transferred to the community hospital.
Anyone needing care gets it.

You’ve obviously never been or met someone with a chronic condition who tried to get treatment at an ER.
This might surprise you, but ER’s are for Emergencies. They’re not set up, equipped or staffed to treat the multitude of chronic conditions that most of us are afflicted with sooner or later as we age.
At best, you get patched up, handed a prescription you can’t afford to fill (or you wouldn’t be using the ER for primary care in the first place) and given the boot.. until the next crisis.
I can’t speak for ‘em all, but I’d bet the vast majority of ER docs and nurses didn’t go into emergency medicine to practice primary care, and they’re tired of having to provide it so people like you can say “Oh, well you can always go to the ER.”
The ER is not the solution to this problem.
