Not quite how healthcare works in the US. Unless you consider having the money to cover your max out-of-pocket (between 1000-4500usd, depending on insurance plan) and copays (50-125usd) as "wealthy".
The situation you're referring to applies to the 11-12% of Americans who have no health insurance. An unfortunate situation that the US should work to rectify (ideally with a universal option), but hardly the third-world situation most Europeans envision.
