Ok, you're right, it is an option in third-world countries. I don't see it happening in the EU/US/AU/CA or even China (even considering their past human rights violations). But if it does happen on a large enough scale, hungry riots will just take over the means of the food production (mostly robots and other machinery these days).

Healthcare is a separate issue. What you're describing is still happening all over, including the US. I've been looking at the US health insurance premiums, and I have no idea how an average person can afford something like that.
