Well in the olden days before health insurance was privatized maybe.
The question is, how long will people live without health insurance. We are talking about the collapse of society as we know it. The people who had insurance were keeping the docs and medical system afloat in some form. We’re talking about closures of facility after facility. Everyone but the wealthy will be locked out and only then at special facilities.
