This was once the case in the US prior to EMTALA laws being introduced in 1986. Which is pretty dystopian, even if it’s not the case today.
It wasn’t so much the insurance company though. It was private hospitals dumping uninsured patients into public ones without stabilizing care even if they were actively dying because they didn’t want to absorb the cost. Essentially pure evil / end stage capitalism.
