Your news media has the healthcare situation here way overblown.
Elective surgery is suspended right now and is likely limited for some but no one is turned down at an ER, ever.

HERE ARE THE PROJECTED DEATH TOLL PER AGE RANGE FOR THE UK, you notice the 50.60 age group is some what greater than the 20- 30 one, in fact the under 30 range has no death toll at all that shows up on the graph

From Americans actually.

‘Why are we being charged?’ Surprise bills from coronavirus testing spark calls for government to cover all costs
Sick Americans face Kafkaesque nightmare in search of coronavirus testing
A US resident racked up a $3,200 hospital bill for suspected coronavirus treatment, and his insurance only covered part of it. Here's how the costs broke down.
54% of Americans worry about expenses tied to coronavirus—here's how to cut medical costs if you get sick
Testing may be free in some places but treatment is not. Coronavirus testing is free, but the hospital trip may set you back thousands. One graphic breaks down potential costs.

The answer is really yes and no. If you go to the emergency room, you won’t be denied treatment. However, some people don’t seek treatment at all, or until it’s too late, because they are afraid of the cost. It’s not only poor people who react this way. Medical costs in the US are crazy.

Indirectly, I suppose. And again, it’s not limited to “poor” people.

any one who cant afford medical care or adequate insurance is POOR, they are literally to poor to live if they get ill
there is nothing indirect about it. there is direct causation between someone income and if they die of a treatable illness or not

This week have started doing classes via video link, with students, up to 25 at a time, but its purely about movement, keeping the body moving during the covid-19 restrictions, we start a warm up, then linking efficeint movement and breath, move on to core strength training, applying pressure/stress through breath patterns, to pillar exercise, push up, pull up, squat, leg raise, rope twist, culminating in cool down, then relaxation, through breathing in and applying tension to the body, and exhaling to relax. Wasnt sure we was going to get many, but we are up to 9x1hour sessions a week, and going to add another 3 classes next week. The only thing missing is the combat and pressure testing, by sparring, which is a thing that needs to be constant imho. But to keep students morale, and interest high, and keep them moving is paramount at present. It did take a few lessons to completely concerntrate on the class, rather than the individual students taste in decor
There's not much incidence of rich folks just checking themselves into hospitals - that's really not much of a thing in the US. Most hospital admissions come from doctors' orders.
I'm not even sure what this is about, Jobo.
