Romania. It is part of UE since 2007 and this is the way healthcare works here for the past 10+ years. A few years ago the accounting part was changed so all the taxes and any other forms of payments to the state from the payroll appear in the employee payroll, the total amount did not changed but salaries were adjusted (up) to cover former employer part, so now the employee is paying everything (which was always the case everywhere, just differently booked). Some employers offer as a benefit a negotiated private insurance co-payed; for good contracts the private insurance cover all the costs in private hospitals, for my company it covers about 50% of the doctor cost for consultations and about 20% of the hospital costs. I pay about 50% of the cost of this insurance, the benefit is a discount price versus the regular price of the insurance (about 10-15%).
