Hah, Black Mirror-esque. But well, hopefully it has a IP filter to not hit countries with universal healthcare. /s And asking stranger kids "Hey kids, want some KFC?"... that should go well. "The hacker 4chan made me do it!"
Even in countries with universal healthcare, people regularly can't afford treatment because expensive treatments aren't included.

It's one of the required activities to allegedly get the decryption key.

What kind of treatments? How regularly?
They aren't outright denied, just backlogged for years. Need a hip replacement in the UK, and you're a smoker? Good luck trying to get it within a year.
Because it turns out that healthcare is a service, and just making it "free" doesn't magically make it immune to scarcity.

It was the worst time of my life. I had to pay a private psychiatrist to treat her. A very good one - we plotted together a plan to partake on her fantasy and administer a risperidone injection which was super effective. She is fine now and visits said doctor once in a year only.
Sure you can go to a general clinic but the doctor will forward you to the proper specialist queue which might take months or even years.

Has anyone actually completed the three demands and gotten their data back? As the requests are so bizarre and I'm so cynical it seems more likely they just want you to do silly things after destroying your data.
For a no profit hack, honoring the promises would lead to funnier/more interesting situations.

In the UK there is a department called NICE which uses health economics to understand how to best utilize the funding for the national health service to best improve health outcomes (generally measured by increasing QALY or Quality-Adjusted Life Years, but there are multiple measures in reality). This means that if there is a £500k treatment that could save the lives of a 70 year old, but there is a £1m treatment that could save the life of a 20 year old, and there is only budget for one, it would go to the £1m treatment because it has the biggest impact on QALY.
So the treatments that don't get approval are usually those that have a poor return. Note that it's usually the whole treatment that gets approved / denied rather than particular patient (or it is approved for a particular subset of people).
The other issue is capacity - so for instance, if there is only a limited capacity to perform MRI scans, then triage is required.

In the US places like that exist as well but under 13s aren't just hanging around to invite out and feed.
