Wealthy and Healthy. Insurance Doesn't = Health Care

"The difference is that wealthy people are more likely to have the ability to get the care and help they need to get better. They are more likely to have effective insurance and more likely to be able to pay for what ever the insurance doesn't pay. Wealthy people with rheumatoid arthritis can afford to pay that $2,200 per injection for that incredibly expensive drug. People with advanced RA that have reduced mobility can also pay for house cleaning and lawn work and can have their food brought to them.

There's also some evidence that being wealthy and avoiding economic hardship seems to be correlative with avoiding health issues."
