Medical doctors are supposed to use their medical skills to help anyone, regardless of whether or not the patient can pay for their services. Most doctors probably still follow the oath, but, obviously there are doctors who will not treat poor people who can not afford to pay their medical bills. Of course, there are doctors who refuse to treat people, because they might get sued by individuals who just want to get "something for nothing" and a Doctor Who refuses to treat someone for fear of a lawsuit, does have a good argument. No one wants to get sued and lose their money and property after they tried their best to help someone.
