Could Universal Healthcare Help Men Feel More Comfortable Seeking Medical Care?

It’s no secret that men often avoid going to the doctor, whether it’s due to pride, fear, or just not wanting to admit something’s wrong. I’ve been wondering if universal healthcare were in place, making access easier and more affordable, do you think that would encourage more men to prioritize their health? Or would deeper cultural attitudes still hold them back?

I’m curious to hear from others, especially those who’ve lived in countries with universal healthcare. Did you notice a difference in how men approached medical visits compared to places where cost is a bigger barrier? Or is this more about changing mindsets than just removing financial hurdles?
