Does Galactic Healthcare exist in the Star Wars universe?
It must, there's no way a moisture farmer from Tatooine could afford a plan that would cover weeks in a bacta tank and an artificial arm.
Come on, you think Luke was paying for that? And not the
princess funding a galactic rebellion taking care of him? Plus who knows what Obi-Wan left him, and then Yoda, they probably made calls all the time "you wish to sell your stocks at [this price]" then bet on the other side of the sale. Look at how those dopes were hanging out in palaces and running things in the prequels.
The Empire's GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE solution seemed to be "ignore it, we got more clones" and then "oh, you burned up in lava, here's agonizing pain forever intentionally with a massively heavy suit" the latter being exactly like the systems used in Canada and the UK.
Meanwhile, Luke's FREE MARKET health care gives him a totally fancy hand just a few decades later. Something Trump is likely to leave us, WELL-SIZED, CAPABLE, artificial hands on the cheap.
It's really been a major failure of the new films that we aren't getting these important world building debates like in the prequels, hopefully the Ninth film is simply a debate on the merits of the two positions in front of an impartial set of judges.
