When Simom wrote of the existingf mechanism to generate "million quid bills", I presumed (particularly in context) that he was referring to electricity bills, not banknotes! Are you perhaps American?
That's what is most frequency cited - but, of course, if one has crucial medical equipment, then one really should/must have some provision for coping with power loss - in terms of 'the big picture' very few people have ever had their electricity supply disconnected by a supplier, but we have all suffered dozens, if not hundreds, of 'power cuts'.
Because they try to stop you, when on the Falklands we all had 2 meter radios, if you said on call channel go to 145.400 no one bothered to follow you, if you said go to usual everyone would hunt to see where you were, and listen to what you were saying. It's human nature.
To be fair if there is medical equipment you are suppose to tell energy supplier so you are on a priority system. However in my house the stairs are centre of the house, so I have a battery backed light above the stairs, however it does not last that long, so there is a danger if you loose power for two long, also there is a cost, we were told if you don't open a freezer door they will last around 6 hours specially if full before food is defrosted, I heard my freezer fail, so did not open door, and switched on spare in garage, waited an hour to allow it to cool then opened the door of failed freezer, already items at top had started to defrost. It all depends on what cycle the freezer was on when power failed, if it has just completed a defrost cycle then you only have around half an hour to restore power.
