Then again, maybe you worked for a municipality or were in a union and you have medical coverage for life.
However most who have on-going health benefits see them terminated when Medicare eligible (except, of course those retired from Congress). As is the case in developed countries with a national health care program, there will always be a highly affluent minority who can pay cash and there always will be high end providers ready to accept their cash. I bet Paul McCartney can get what he wants when he wants it.
