If the US had a decent social healthcare in place, it would be. You pool together resources so everyone has a chance. Instead you are either lucky or rich.

Not really. In the event of an untreatable disease, no amount of free healthcare would make me feel better about being obligated to work in a factory if I'm vulnerable to the disease; even if factory work were the best damn job in the world.
