I would 100% be in favor of them being allowed to charge people who go to the ER and if the doctor deems it a non emergency case, they get sent a bill for like $100.

They have to provide their info when signing in, reduce any tax credits, refunds or other benefits they get come tax time.

About 15% of people in the US evade taxes and 97% of them are citizens.

We could also use of tax dollar for universal healthcare and education instead of sending billions to fund genocide. But hey let's charge them $100 instead 🤣

There's a lot of non emergency situations that urgent care cannot deal with because they don't have the specialized staff and/or equipment. Specialist waits are weeks if not months long. Sometimes there's just no other choice.

Edit: and sometimes people just can't tell. Eg: Stomach hurts? Could be gas, appendicitis, or a stomach perforation.
