I know a lot of lower-income people in the US who have to worry all the time about health and affording the doctor.
I visited people in Canada who made approximately the same amount of money as my lower-income US friends. Never once did I hear them mention affording healthcare, even though one of them had sustained injuries at her workplace. They talked about not having /time/ to see the doctor, not not having money.

It was an interesting experience...
