If you are currently paying for Health Insurance either on your own or through an employer then you are currently paying for the high cost of taking care of the uninsured.....every time an uninsured person uses the ER which is their only option without insurance then we the insured are passed on the cost through increased premiums to pay the increasing medical cost for hospital and doctors fees.
I don't know what the facilities are like in other locales. In Indianapolis, there is a whole hospital designated for low cost care for the under privileged. There are various hospital organizations here and they all work together in a loose sort of cooperation.
Care is available. With or without a socialist model of health care, the rich will get better care.
