You're obviously not from the US.

In the US, they have this concept of a "pre-existing condition", and depending on your situation, a health insurance might cover it, or not, as far as I understand.

Even making good money in SV, you can still end up with a medical bankruptcy (or your family, for that matter).

Since the ACA became law in the US (10 years ago) all health insurance has to cover preexisting conditions.

You're about a decade late with this comment.

Just like I won't expound on German healthcare policy, maybe you should reserve judgement on US healthcare policy until you actually know what you're talking about.
