Definitely. In my European country you can apply for transport for your bloodwork or any examination if you have a long term sickness like cancer. I'm happy to pay social security taxes to allow for that

Where I live in the US there are absolutely transportation programs for people that cannot drive to take them to all their medical appointments and it is paid for by the state.

And they're late 50% of the time and none of the drivers know how to confidently operate the lifts and secure wheelchair users.
