Believe it or not, there are people, on this planet who probably think they are the same, call them naive, misinformed, stupid.. whatever. They see the big sign that says "Urgent Care" and assume in an emergency life or death situation they might get some urgent care. Maybe under the sign that says urgent care. it should also say "No health insurance No service" in bold letters.
Say, A man and his girlfriend are out to dinner, "the girlfriend doesn't have health insurance". They return to the car, just as you open the doors to get in, you are mugged, robbed and assaulted, tragically, your girlfriend is stabbed in the thigh, She is bleeding out, life and death situation. There is an urgent care facility a mile down the street, and the nearest emergency room five miles away. Many peoples first instinct to save a loved ones life is to go to the much closer urgent care and hope they would have the humanity to stop the bleeding and save this persons life, And then call an emergency room ambulance, before they kick her out for not having health insurance.
The kid in the article seemed to be in dire straits. He died shortly after. The least they could have done is keep him in isolated the parking lot, call an ambulance for him and hold him there under the care of medical professionals.
