It doesn't even have to involve death.
My buddy separated his shoulder snowboarding when he was 22, but had no health insurance because he was working at the ski resort for something like $6/hr (US Ski Resorts are legally allowed to pay below minimum wage... go figure).
So he never went to the Doctor, because he couldn't afford it. He's 41 now, and that shoulder impacts almost every day of his life.
- marcus_holmes 4y agoI never understand why you guys put up with this. The French are burning Paris to the ground because their retirement age got put up 2 years. But America puts up with the most outrageous hardship with barely a whimper.

The idea that people in a Developed country didn't have access to a doctor was shocking - I'd never seen that before, and simply didn't understand. I thought everyone could just go to the doctor when they needed to.
