Which is another huge part of the problem that people just don't understand.
People having easy access to healthcare means that they'll get minor things checked on. Minor things that, if addressed quickly, remain minor and incur minor costs.
People who do not have easy access to healthcare, or for whom seeing a doctor will incur debt they can't afford, will avoid going to have minor things checked on. Those minor things eventually become major things. Major things cost much more to treat, so people are left having to incur the debt they can't pay back, which ruins them and their families financially, likely gets passed on by medical providers who bill more to others to cover those bad debts, or people just let themselves die to protect their family.
It's the same problem with have with our infrastructure. Our politicians have ignored it, or have only put in enough money to band-aid it, and now it's gotten to the point where it's going to cost trillions to repair/replace or else we're going to start seeing major failures.
People are super myopic.
