>> NHS. If I want to, I can wander into a hospital ER and will be seen to, without any discussion of money.

And what exactly is the chance they’ll actually take care of you if you’re not in an emergency condition?

Pretty good chance. They triage, and if you're not an emergency and you're easy to treat they like to get you seen and out of the department because it helps their 4 hour targets.
