Yes, if someone doesn't have insurance and they are dying, they will be saved by a public hospital, but as soon as they can leave, the hospital will slap a bandaid on their ass and boot them.

I suppose while somoene is dying we should first do a check on whether they are a citizen?

This has nothing to do with illegal immigrants. The same would apply to someone visiting the US on vacation from another country.
