I feel like you're missing a crucial part of the argument:

Most people don't want unvaccinated people to not be treated, they would prefer if other people had priority over the unvaccinated. (Specifically, people unvaccinated by choice, not because they're immunocomprimised). This would presumably be done by keeping a set amount of hospital beds for vaccinated people, because it's not like they're going to kick out people on life support out if the hospital is full.

People support this policy because they're afraid that vaccinated citizens will die (or already have died) from not being able to enter a hospital, because said hospital is filled with the unvaccinated. And, for the most part, I agree. The idea of someone dying to appendicitis because of the selfishness of anti-vaxxers really sickens me. I'm not sure how much of a problem this actually is, but I wouldn't shed a tear if such a policy was implemented. That being said, I would be convinced otherwise if there was concrete data showing this isn't a problem.

Merry Christmas to you too :)
