Lol in reality many UK and European people dislike the doctors/ER/urged care because it takes alot of time out the day/week/month/year
They're verrryyyy slow at replying, and you often have to chase up your doctors to find out whether you're dying or not

Once I had a SCHEDULED surgery when I was 5-6yrs old and it was supposed to be at 7am, it ended being at 8pm because of the amount of delays.
I couldn't eat before the surgery, as of I did, I could choke on my vomit due to the medication or sight of blood (it was my first time and it wasn't even that bad), so for 13hrs I just sat there. No food. No water. Nothing.
I also couldn't leave because by leaving it would be classified as me rejecting or refusing medical intervention, and I would have to wait another several months or even years to have that surgery.

And the whole process of getting that surgery took about 6 months (to my mother knowledge)

And this was a clinic not based on priority, just schedule. Some do it based on priority so you will be waiting even longer.

In America, typically the waiting times are shorter because people are on their last leg when going to the doctors/hospital

In UK and Europe, it just takes an extreme amount of time to even be seen, or to have the problem dealt with, especially if you have a dismissive doctor.

So in neighbourhoods that have really good doctors, the rent surrounding that area typically increases because they're more likely to get doctors appointment for things they need urgently.

So basically (especially in the UK), the older rich people who may have more health complications will be living in the good neighborhoods where the doctors act quickly.
But the poorer people, will live in neighbourhood were doctors are slow af

So in a way we technically do have to pay for the doctors, but it's more about consideration of where you want to live and if you can afford it
