can’t afford the co-payment

Use fees are cruel barriers to proper healthcare. We see it even in some parts of Canada (healthcare in Canada isn't uniform, region-to-region, as it was relegated to provinces to define so the cruel conservatives couldn't unilaterally kill it, and so they just gut their own region's support to the bare letter of the law and thus implement user fees and premiums).
