      Here’s how it works in a poor third world country: https://archive.is/FL9qe (Original Washington Post article)

      It’s not just ER. Family medicine, dental, vision, full cancer treatment, palliative care… It’s all free, including drugs, for every human, citizen or otherwise, legal or otherwise. There was a conscious decision not to restrict healthcare access and not to employ people to restrict access.

      Technically you don’t have to. People have been having children since at least the 1500s, and they didn’t have medicade. There is nothing illegal about simply having a baby.
