The country I live in has three healthcare systems: Public (Free), Social security (Payroll funded) and Private (Paid by yourself or your optional private insurance).
The private one has the shortest waiting times and doctors are assigned less patients.
Some things that have happened to me in the private system and I didnt like were:
- Having to pay my bill about two hours after waking up from anesthesia. Literally signing the credit card receipts while on my hospital bed.
- Another time, having to sign an IOU before being admitted, on the emergency room bed.
- One of my doctors throwing away all my medical records, because "they were old and took too much space".
