Absolutely, I saw this when working in the US at age 23 (I'm Australian)
A good friend separated his shoulder while snowboarding and couldn't afford the surgery, so did nothing. To me this was staggering, and I had no idea people in "good" countries lived like that. Growing up in Australia this is unheard of.

His shoulder is still screwed, 15 years later.
