American's are too busy working to take time off for doctor visit's. This likely leads to easily preventable deaths. Many have jobs that even going to a doctors visit (or any other similar errand during working hours) could lead to them losing their job. I hear in Japan one of the only few reasons you can miss work without consequences is to visit the doctor, so in Japan people go to the doctor a lot. Maybe this leads to finding more illnesses early? Things are so warped in the US that if your employer finds out you are sick/ill you will be targeted to be fired if they can find some other non-medical excuse to get rid of you. I know a few people fired "for cause" soon after disclosing to their employer they have cancer and might need to take a little extra time off for treatment.
