Minato tell her sorry, that he has to drag her back into it, Kushinia says my chakra is almost drained, then after restraining the kyuubi she says I will seal it with the little chakra I had left. So had she not gotten involved again, she could have just healed. What would be the point in uzumaki's surviving extraction if they are going to die later on, slow and painful death?
If Kushina was capable of being healed Minato would've probably dragged her back to Konoha. And if Kushina knew she could've lived she would've just let Minato handle it. Kushina acted because she wanted to die being of assistance instead of dying while doing nothing, that's why she mustered up the strength to chain Kurama.
The point of surviving by being Uzumaki is 1) Kishi needed her alive for the emotional scenes afterwards, 2) So that it would be believable that Naruto wouldn't immediately die after having Kurama extracted.
actually Kushina was dying due to kyuubi's extraction. Obito said to her "Wow...Uzumaki clan's bloodline is amazing... You didn't die YET..."
Kushina was just gonna to die, it was only a matter of time. Uzumaki blood is vigorous as a roach but it doesn't give you the immortality. That's why Kushina was willing to sacrifice herself even though she hadn't a lethal blow. No kittening way she would have left alone his new-born son with his father. Childrens needs the maternal figure above all.
My same thoughts.
Even if Obito hadn't said "YET" going by Minato's following actions and words it's pretty clear Kushina was going to die regardless.
If Kushina had a chance to live Minato would've simply said that he would seal Kurama into Naruto and let Kushina raise him. But he also came up with having Kushina's chakra seal so that she could see Naruto once again.
Isn't it logical that if there was a chance medic nins could help Kushina that Minato would've explored that idea? This is not so complicated.
