Free healthcare won’t save you from getting stroke at 40 years old, and this coming from a country with free healthcare but heart disease being one of the leading cause of death in the country.
People always tell me that they smoke and eat unhealthy because they don’t want to live forever, and they somehow think it makes them sound hard af.
My mom died of lung cancer and my dad is overweight as hell. Neither of these things seems fun.
Free healthcare won’t save you from getting stroke at 40 years old
It won’t save you from the stroke but it will warn you of the symptoms and risks, then offer you useful advise on how to avoid the condition as it approaches.
And, for those who have family that have endured a stroke at a relatively young age (my mom suffered one in her late 40s), you’ll discover its not a death sentence. You need immediate, highly professional short term care. And then you need a long term recovery plan, typically with some cocktail of pharmaceuticals to expedite it. Finally, you need regular checkups to prevent it from recurring. My mom’s currently in her late 70s, no obvious evidence of the condition, and she’s had a full, happy life since that very terrifying experience. A big part of that was access to professional health care.
