    Citation needed. Especially men avoid getting medical care even when free. At least from my European experience

      Can confirm. European health care systems may be flawed in many ways, but I have personally known people who avoided getting their treatable illnesses treated.

      Though if you have the kind of issue where you’d consider taking the risk of a Dr House-intervention, you’re fucked in Europe, too - IME, at least here in Germany doctors absolutely hate investigating the more complicated cases.
