In America, anyone who earns $20k a year with with a 2 year old is going to get free medical care, too. I have several kids and my medical care is free up until we make about $55,000 per year. If we had no jobs, same thing.

A close relative of mine (who is single) also had cancer and had 100% of it paid for.

Transportation costs are also paid for, although we never needed overnight accommodation so far.

My prior experience was in Australia was a youngster under a particularly terrible universal care system in the 1989s, and then in the 2000s when I lived in Canada.

I get a little weary of the refrain about how American healthcare is terrible, esp. for poorer people - it’s actually very good.
