Not so dire, if you are uninsured, illegal alien, etc, you will get care, all you need to do is step into and ER. They are required to treat you, then if you can' t pay for your hospital stay, they will find free care for you....so don't think that people who do not have health insurance cannot find care.. baloney.
Okay, do not listen to this absent minded redneck. Health Insurance was greatly needed for a long time and then a bill was approved that allowed health insurance for everyone. Look at Denmark and see how great they're doing with free health insurance. We are a long way off from perfection and this is just one step needed to take. I know I sound biased, but I only base my observations off of past civilization anthropology.

I presume that you are talking of health insurance in the USA - in many countries including most of Europe, health insurance is not necessary because the state provides reasonable health care, though some rich people do have private insurance to be able to have private treatment. Probably the greatest reason for not having health insurance is lack of funds, some people can't afford it.
As far as travel to Europe there are no health restrictions from the USA to Europe. They do want you to have medical insurance or medical travel insurance. The medical in most of Europe is modern and comparable to USA. If you are taking a pet, dog or cat, they must be certified by a Veterinarian.
