The phrase “snitches get stitches” makes a lot of assumptions about the availability and expediency of healthcare.

There’s a thing called “concierge doctor.” You pay $X per month and get basically 27/7 access to your doctor, and free consultations. It’s not covered by insurance, and specialists (which is almost everything) still require insurance or other payment.

27/7 is quite a lot
