Anyone with experiance here?
Not worth the risk .... as a person from out of country, without some sort of private insurance to show the hospital, good luck even getting seen. Even with a travel insurance plan, they will verify everything with your insurance company before doing much of anything.
You could be out of pocket thousands of dollars at a minimum.
