>And this is why I comment. This is wrong! You should not have to stretch on healthcare if you know how to spend your money. > Get treated abroad. It's as simple as that. > EDIT: You may lose your job. It's a consequence of life. You will still have saved a bunch of money when taking into count the savings on healthcare and the lower cost of living abroad It isn't a matter of managing your money properly. There will still be people who are disadvantaged despite making what everyone else would see as the right choices. They can even be in a position where they are at a disadvantage while being fully employed. You can blame it on the structure of the economy and society, or just blame it on bad luck. Some of these disadvantaged people are covered by existing welfare programs (e.g. Medicaid), but a lot of them aren't. Insisting that having healthcare is only a matter of financial literacy is naive and disregards reality.
