It's a mix of overly individualistic culture and the healtcare avoidance/unaffordability. Working blue collar class avoids a doctor as much as possible.

This is a huge part, yes. For a shockingly large number of people in the US, going to the doctor means not being able to pay rent or buy food. And in many areas, there are no doctors to go to even if you're willing and able.

We enshrined capitalism only to discover, too late, that we were the capital, not the capitalists.

You are the resource. Capitalism is the exploitation of resources to pull in a profit.
