Requiring a doctor to provide medical help to someone who can't pay is an unconstitutional confiscation of private property. The fact that a law exists does not make that law constitutional or even right. Charity must be voluntary or it corrodes the humanity of both the recipient and provider, not to mention the society that confiscated the means to provide it. Theft does not become moral just because it's "legal".
There is nothing complicated about reality. Reality only becomes "complicated" when it is in conflict with your notion of "how things oughta be".
