None of the options I mentioned involved saving up - though it is pretty obviously what people would do, ahead of time.
Pre-war (pre-NHS) it was very common here (south coastal U.K.) for people to have some money put aside for the doctor, should one be needed in an emergency. We are talking about $40, the cost of a backpack, to cure a family (huddled together) of all disease, perhaps saving 4-5 lives and stopping the spread of a lethal contagion.
