Ultimately when these under insured / non insured get sick they will be treated at the hospital. The hospital isn't going to turn them away. The hospital will raise prices to makeup for losses treating these people and insurance companies will raise their prices to keep their profit margin. Those of us that prepare and have adequate insurance are the ones to bear the brunt of these cost increases. This is the unfortunate reality.
