I think you are mis-understanding what I wrote. Having seen a couple of lives of states-side friends ruined by what would have been minor (but still serious from a medical perspective) issues in Europe I'm all too aware of the differences in the various health-care solutions.

I've also lived in enough places with various levels of health-care and insurance (and lack of insurance) to see this as a potential problem.

So, instead of reading imperiousness, how about worry?
