True. But emergency only insurance can be much cheaper. Local labs can still send scan/blood results globally wherever the patients want. The bulk of lab costs is a medical doctor attesting/writing the report. That can be solved.

There was a post recently about a diabetic patient not able to afford the daily medicines. Most chronic problems require chronic medicines and regular consultation which can be solved.

One issue someone might raise is the quality of doctors. I have heard tons of cases from friend I know where the doctors have messed up here. It is mostly about reviews and trust, and applies globally, and can be an individual preference.
