Fair point! Read it in a book, long ago, early Obama era, from an author who examined a number of nations universal health systems.
It was an example that stuck in my mind.
The one of the baby should be easily searched as it is no more than three years old. A third comes from my niece, under England’s NHS, there is only one pre birth exam as opposed to two in America. The result was a live child with a major condition that took many years and surgeries to heal. He is now an adult and quite healthy but it could have been taken care of prebirth with a second exam.
Every system has its limitations, ours for better or worse are based on either our willingness or our ability to afford insurance. Given that any given country can impose their limits on you based on what might seem to the individual as quite random or perhaps aimed at them specifically, prefer to pay, limit my other options and live. That is my choice others are free to do something different, they just get to live with the result.
I appreciate the forthrightness of your question. It definitely deserved an answer.
