This is broadly true, though there can be some wiggle room in the exact definitely of “immediate life-saving care” depending on where you end up, though. In particular, a condition like appendicitis that will inevitably lead to a crisis may be turned away until it actually becomes one, even if that makes things riskier and costlier for everyone involved.

Right, sometimes you need to be actively dying to receive care, not just at risk of dying.
