No this is not true, you can’t be denied medical treatment in the US even if you don’t have the ability to pay it.

  Emergency medical treatment, right?

    Yes, but if you “look like you can pay” you can get much more than that.

    Right. Anything beyond that nobody is obligated to provide. However, if you're in that level of dire straits there's almost always a way to get it covered. In most states, anyway.

  Yes, you can be denied treatment. ERs are just obligated to stabilize patients no matter their ability to pay. Nobody who needs it is getting an insulin supply or chemotherapy without the ability to pay for it.
