They can't turn away an emergency, but they sure don't provide the preventative medicine that could have prevented the emergency from happening. There is also a financial scramble that results from the government mandating services without providing funds to pay for it. Somebody pays, whether it is in terms of bad unpaid for coverage or increased expenses for those who can pay bills.

I do, however, believe that people like you and Classic X wouldn't realize this.
