I could have paid for that visit without having private insurance. If anybody allows this it is the state, and as far as I know it was all allowed and legal. With regard to this extra layer on top, I doubt it wouldn't be allowed in Spain. There just isn't a market for it, in all likelihood.
- ThomPete 9y agoThats not the point. You can't just get right in front of the best doctor if you choose to pay out of your own pocket. The whole point is that this layer provides you with extra access and extra care.
- ezequiel-garzon 9y agoI disagree. Given enough money you'll get a top-tier doctor in any specialty pretty soon, pretty much anywhere. Again, my point is that probably few places disallow this service, as you indicated. Maybe you meant to say that even the wealthiest in countries with outstanding health systems don't bother looking for such a service? That may very well be the case.
- ThomPete 9y agoThis is a service, not just something the wealthiest can do but also people who are just better off than others.
