Not if you live in a country with universal healthcare. I have no concerns about healthcare in later life (or at any point in my life).
- ozim 7y agoI live in a country with universal healthcare and still you have to pay for a lot of drugs you need when you are older. There are older people who have to choose buy drugs or food as well.
- louthy 7y agoThat is really wierd. In the UK we pay a fixed price (£9) for prescriptions when we have the means to do so (i.e. in work), that's regardless of whether the drugs are more or less expensive than £9. Pensioners and people on benefits get prescriptions free. It seems perverse to do it the way you suggest. Do you have to pay the full price of the prescription?
- ozim 7y agoYou don't pay full price on perscriptions, like insulin is reimbursed in some part, you still have to pay some amount. Though for people in small villiges it still might be a lot. I am not good on details because I don't take any medication, I only see my granmother having like 5-8 different things to take. She can afford that no problem, but still all is not free, and there are people who are a lot poorer than my granmother.
