So to summarize
1. He is surprised because he didn't pay the taxes which fund healthcare in Croatia
2. He's not making Croatian wages
3. He's accostomed to taking most of the wages he earns back in America to his private bank account.
While I personally feel it's good that people receive the help specially medical help when they need but at the same time I believe it's unfair for the Croat taxpayers to fund treatment of foreigners because it creates a dynamic where people with means (who can fly to and from America) get best of both the world. A low tax environment and a place where government takes away 60% of your earning in return of free healthcare and cheap healthcare cost.
- AstralStorm 7y ago1) To scale, this is about quarter of median Croatian wage. Imagine a $400 bill. 2) Croatian would pay 0 kn, because taxes and it is a routine kind of care. Only extended stay (beyond doctor's recommendation) would be extra paid and not too much. Rehab if any might cost something but still not a lot. 3) Trouble begins when surgery or rare medicine is required, either in form of long queues, high cost or plain unavailability.
