As a Brit who left the UK over 50 years ago I only know about England from the news, podcasts and relations telling me how awful it is. I'm 76 and have been blessed with good genes and so am in good health. I find very little to complain about Thailand, life here (as far as I'm concerned) is free and easy. I took the MIL to the dentist in our medium sized market town in Isaan this morning, I had to wait around for an hour so I took a walk in the splendid weather along the high street and around the market, something I don't normally do. The place was a bustling hive of activity, no boarded up shops, which sold everything imaginable, computers, motorbikes, clothes, furniture, farming machines of every variety etc. a picture of prosperity and this in a farming area, not Bangkok. My family, some of whom are still in the UK, most left years ago for Australia, tell me life in England is pretty miserable and expensive with lifeless towns full of boarded up shops, even in London, violent youths and graffiti everywhere, it's almost dystopian. I am grateful to be able to live here, the specter of ill health to the extent of the OP doesn't bother me, I am at an age where death is expected and I would just let nature take its course rather than take multiple hospital visits but that is just my personal philosophy of life.
