On the other hand, the really good healthcare will still end up with you paying out of pocket (potentially not a lot, but enough to exceed the cheapskating; potentially a ton), or gambling that the overloaded social system is fast enough.
Being richer also opens options of taking extra time off and going medical "shopping", and being able to afford necessary travel.
