Or even simpler things that people take for granted, like antibiotics, which weren't discovered until 1942 and weren't widely available until 1945. Can you imagine how awful things like strep throat or a minor infection were to deal with before penicillin.
I grew up dirt poor without healthcare until I got to the Army aat 18.
