If it's anything like Europe, doctors and hospitals get to charge extra (not covered by the state medical insurance) if the patient is in a private room. Plus the private room itself costs extra too. It has different names depending on the country. PS. private medical insurance may cover the private room thing. Also, doctors are effectively incentivized to give private room patients preferential treatment. So it is one source of inequality in Europe's health services.
