There were times in my life that I would not go to the hospital unless I was literally dying for fear of the costs.

This is one of the major contributing factors to the reduced cost for socialized healthcare: it is a lot less expensive to catch things early than to treat them later.
Literally any healthcare>>>No healthcare
