There simply hasn't been any advances in health care in 100 years that can't be covered with a few chickens and some fresh milk.
There are single payer systems that have house calls for minor stuff. The US has high deductible plans where your insurance doesn't cover minor stuff so you just pay cash for it. Urgent care centers and walk in clinics exist everywhere now for minor stuff, with or without insurance.
Insurance is for when you need expensive unexpected treatment, you don't have to die if you can't pay for it. There was plenty of this kind of lunacy back when GOP was discouraging young people from signing up for insurance. As if young people don't need treatment for accidents, injuries, substance abuse, mental health treatment, pregnancy, STDs, etc. People don't know when they're going to need care. Life happens when you're not prepared.
