Paying for medical insurance = consent to be rushed to the Hospital.
Also, I think it's fair to say that while some acts require clear affirmative consent to be done, other acts can be done by others as long as their isn't evidence pointing to the contrary of consent. For example, obviously talking at someone is fine, even if they don't affirmative consent, but if they actively deny consent, that may be different (though your right to speak in a public space may still exist).
People who don't have insurance? Might as well let them die instead of having it happen after they see the medical bill.
As for which rights require affirmative consent, it would just be part of the definitions of various rights. If you want a well thought out way of defining what a right is, I can't give you one because i need to write blocks to the states CP rn.

What about people who don't have insurance?
What's the non consequentialist account of which actions require affirmative consent?

I disagree that we should let people without insurance die.
The second response is not much of a response.
