Nobody in the UK gets denied healthcare if they want to pay for it. You can always go private, at which point it's the same as in the US. And as far as I understand it, healthcare prices in the US are so incredibly inflated that even though you might be paying for public healthcare that you then don't use on that particular occasion, you'll still have spent less money in total paying taxes and going private in the UK than you would do just getting private service in the US.
