Once again if they are indigent they pay none of it back the state pays for it (State not Federal Government). You are clearly not informed how healthcare works here, being misinformed I have been trying to inform you but you seem to be ignoring the answer for your preconceived notion.
Many studies have been put out about the level of "insured" without informing people that those who are uninsured can get care and don't have to pay for it. The states are required to pay for it. Since the states on a large part have Constitutions that require balanced budgets they do not spend years paying for it, they pay for it right away.
Some people do pay for their own healthcare, most of those are the truly rich but some would pay for their own and have to make payments they were not indigent to begin with. However they are still not denied care and they are not put into the poor house in order to make these payments either.
The system here is not as broken as you have been led to believe.
