Free to use based on need. You can also buy private catastrophic insurance. It's also mostly affordable (unless you need specialist surgery). States have their own hospitals and prioritize their residents. You need a local id card and there are separate queues/checkin procedures for state residents (vs out of state) at government hospitals. Unlike the US, everything is priced (menus) and surgeries and hospitalizations are not seen as a way to gouge patients (i.e. a senior doctor poking their head in your room and glancing at your chart will not incur a 4 figure "consultation fee"). One thing they do there that I wish US hospitals did was: at the end of your surgery, they give you a list of all the consumables used (gauze/gloves/bandages/sutures/ports/i.v. tubes etc) and you're asked to either pay for them or buy those from a pharmacy of your choice and deliver them to the hospital.
