Over here that's not a problem, since we have vastly connected public transport and bicycle paths next to nearly every road.

In the US, losing your car is losing mobility almost entirely.

Now I'm just imagining this 96 year old man transporting his cancer stricken 63 year old son on a bike

City near me has 3 university and 2 non university hospitals.

Pretty much every town and city in my province has direct lines to and from these hospitals.

You can also easily access them from anywhere in the country by going by rail and then having a short 5 minute shuttle ride from the train station to the hospital campuses, shuttles that drive twice every hour.

And yes, if you take a bus here, it's very often old people either going to the hospital or visiting someone in the hospital (or one of the many elderly homes in the area).
