    I mean there’s definitely people who go bankrupt due to not being able to work due to illness. If you’re a private entrepreneur (or what’s the correct term) for example then that stuff can take you down easily.

      Yes, that’s true. Many countries have subsidies, but especially if it’s a significant one who needs constant care, they can’t cover everything.

      Still, likely a rounding error compared with the US if we consider those who become unable to work due to treatable conditions they can’t afford (and their insurance delays, denies and defends)
