Of course I mean donations, either through your family, church, or beyond. Of course it’s possible, there’s even a network now called Samaritan’s that facilitates this.
The hospital can turn of course offer to foot the bill, but can do so only after you’ve exhausted other options. But none of this is forced.

You won't get enough. People will go bankrupt, which makes everyone else pay but in a messier and overall worse way than taxes.
If you're trying to get enough hospitals to do this that people don't just go to a cheaper hospital, then almost all hospitals are going to have to raise their prices... and that's effectively the same as a tax. They're "robbing" every patient the same way.
