I never had to worry about medical expenses in my entire life. I believe that is a big advantage from a psychological standpoint and a big factor in your scheme of life.

I never had any problems with long waiting times either. I mean I have a great local doctor, and he takes his time with people. That is a good thing. When I had to go to the ER or something they always treated me quick.

Also, when people complain about waiting times. The thing is, even if you have to wait, you are being treated eventually, as opposed to not at all.

How does private health insurance even work if you are born with a medical condition that requires medication or treatment. Will you even be able to find insurance or will you have to pay for everything yourself for your entire life?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
