We have universal healthcare coverage in the USA, the difference between the USA and everywhere else is we'll bankrupt you first in order for you to access it.
This is an incredibly inefficient, heartless, and needless way to run things, yet it's what we have. I see a few comments below you talk about no access to cancer or chronic care if you're poor but there are tons of programs, grants, etc. that you can access, except you must be genuinely poor. And spend a lot of time finding them, and filling out paperwork, and on and on and on. You'll get care, but it will be psychologically, financially and physically demanding for you and everyone around you.
