Yes, that’s true. Many countries have subsidies, but especially if it’s a significant one who needs constant care, they can’t cover everything.
Still, likely a rounding error compared with the US if we consider those who become unable to work due to treatable conditions they can’t afford (and their insurance delays, denies and defends)
It’s also that if you get sick at the wrong time, as a self-employed person, that alone can take you down and cause a bankruptcy. Subsidies won’t help there if the work just isn’t getting done or you miss out on work contracts.
