So if I get into an accident and I don't have any ID..would they just let me die, not knowing if I had insurance????

By law, hospitals have to admit people that are about to die, such as would be the case in a car accident. I'm not sure where hospitals draw the line on what is "about to die", though.

This refers to emergency treatment, or to stabilize a patient. For things like cancer they will not treat you without payment, even if the type of cancer is treatable and curable, and fatal without treatment.
