    Universal healthcare is a thing. The US is possibly the only first world exception. I live in Norway, and pay a maximum of $250 a year on medical expenses. Everything else gets covered by the govt.

      I’m aware. However, things like this feel like it would be considered beauty care which generally is not considered to be applicable for universal healthcare.

          Yes, but history this doesn’t support that belief. Unfortunately
