Thanks for that clarifying. Limitations, specifics, and hopefully not the spectre of small print details, are all details that clearly is one of the main difference between our two countries.
It's a lot to have to consider as a regular Joe Schmoe person, and to organize, plan for, make judgement calls on with most likely hard to understand details, not to mention the clear connection between a job and health insurance--this last point a real issue with a huge economic downturn.
Not to mention the "that's a large sum" aspect in general brought up, (to be clear here I refer to the millions of Americans with limited health insurance) and of the insuing and inherent realities of health insurance connected with social class and education, and the snowball effect of all of these things on all kinds of angles to a society in general.
Oof, off the topic of bicycle touring, but for you Americans, an ever present one in your lives,directly linked to your health coverage/bicycling/risk of injury and hospital stay/now possible bicycling and covid implications......
