In the US, we still make it other people's business. It's just that here, those other people work for insurance companies whose goal is to turn a profit (even if they claim otherwise by getting themselves classified as non-profit organizations), in part by paying out as little as possible to healthcare providers. Yes, it's theoretically possible to pay out of pocket, so one has a "choice", but doing that for e.g. a C-section would bankrupt most of our population.

I've lived in a country with socialized medicine. It's not perfect, but at least they don't have a huge chunk of the population walking around with easily-treatable conditions that slowly destroy them because normal people don't get decent health coverage.
