The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Also, perhaps not having such an egregiously unhealthy population in general so that constant professional healthcare is not mandatory to not die an early death.
The two things are intertwined, and the root problem is wealthy people doing everything they can to make the working class and poor miserable. That's why we can't have universal healthcare, or bike lanes, or public transportation, or anything that benefits most people except for a few rare excsptions.
They really need to figure out how to contend with hyperbole as well
Both have their benefits. But dying for preventable reasons that could have been taken care of if one saw a doctor when it started is a real issue in the US.
Never said it wasn't. That is absolutely a problem. My point is that a ton of Americans are quite unhealthy, and those preventable things which need prompt attention pop up way more frequently than they should due to this. Also makes people way more susceptible to outbreaks of infectious disease.
