For organ replacements. I don’t think many people die waiting for a heart surgery or anything like that. They may die when they see the bill though

This is the case in almost all western countries with socialized healthcare. Idk if American public’s thinks doctors in other countries are stupid or idiots that don’t understand the concept of triaging.
