Brit here. Enlighten me as to how not being able to afford to visit a GP is 'overstated'.

As I understand it, if you are poor in the USA, there's a real chance you won't be able to pay for the pills you need, or for mental health treatment, etc. That simply doesn't happen here in the UK.

But that doesn't mean anything. Different countries invest different amounts in welfare.
