I don't kno w what happens to people without insurance, never having been in that situation. Do they ask for a credit card? Don't know.

We have been fortunate always to have health insurance and that is true, we are always asked first when entering a hospital for any service. That just makes sense. Their employees don't work for nothing.
Twice our family were not asked. Once with grandson with asthma symtoms and once when I was having an allergic reaction to shellfish. I guess because both situations needed immediate attention because each was potentially life threatening.
