Sure you can choose not to go see a doctor, you can choose not to visit a hospital, but if you get scraped up off the road and taken to the emergency room you have no choice, they have to treat you and someone has to pay.
ACA is a mess, but it is an improvement in the mess that preceeded it.
Contrary to the Clarksonesque "greatest in the world" claim Webster made it only tops the list on expense, and while large number of people do travel to the US for treatment it is dwarfed by the numbers of Americans travelling to other countries for treatment(often to third world countries).
