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

Yes, in Canada they would send a nurse straight to your home to help. Same thing.

Just for the record in the US there are home health services like nurses who can draw blood work, and medical transport for appointments, etc. as well. I’m sure there’s genuine reason this can’t accessed by everyone, all the time though.

Nah this is Medicaid and low income stuff. Rich people don’t need that help typically.
