If you're referring to Hospitals, they are required by law to treat you regardless of your ability to pay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Medical_Trea

  > If you're referring to Hospitals, they are required by law to treat you regardless of your ability to pay Hospitals—well, emergency departments of hospitals that take Medicare—are required to screen for and stabilize any “emergency medical conditions”, as defined in law, regardless of ability to pay. As your source noted, that is not a mandate for general treatment, or even stabilization of medical conditions generally.

  And not only the coverage of the hospital: also the coverage of not being able to work for a period or forever. In a social security system I expect both to be covered.
