That's very true as that's how things work currently. But what about the stories of people waiting on a gurney with chest pains. They often keep them waiting until a bed is available and plan to do testing the following day. Someone told that story not to long ago. Was that person in danger of dying in the hospital hallway? No, I don't think so. They can give medication and stabilize the person until such time as testing can be done to see exactly what's going on. If the person came in with a heart attack in progress it might be a different story. I'm not making any judgment on that at this time.
I don't consider myself an expert and I don't claim to have all the answers, I'm just going by what I have heard and read.
