Yes everybody is entitled to emergency medical treatment but those who live outside the UK and are not registered with a UK GP are supposed to pay for it
My understanding is that everyone in the UK is entitled to emergency treatment (e.g. in A&E). This applies to UK residents, EU residents and non-EU residents. For non-EU patients any follow-up treatment is chargeable. I can find nothing that says people have to pay for emergency treatment. Have I missed something?

OK, I'll pretend I'm an asylum seeker. Will that solve my problem ?

Yes but make sure you have proof of your 10 kids so you can claim family allowance for them along with a nice new house and furnish it on our taxes!    ;)

You only need 30 years NI contributions to claim a pension so why can't you claim free healthcare???   ;D
