I think most of similarities can be noticed in Western Europe countries. For example in the Netherlands, you need to pay for your insurance, and it's not a matter of choice. If you work, it's an obligation. The health-care system is on the high-end quality, and the insurance will cover most of expenses above so called "own risk" which is an annual basic cost coverage you need to pay yourself. So you pay on your own up to around €380, and if your medical costs go over it, your insurance will take care of it.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 07:08I see. Different countries have different healthcare systems and associated practices. But the basics are same in many places and seemingly this author has written this book in a way that anyone can get a general idea about many aspects which are related to business of healthcare.Bookreviewer71 wrote: ↑01 Jun 2021, 05:29 Though the technicalities regarding the medical system given in the book are relevant only to the US residents, the basic ideas in the book regarding care providers, minimizing out-of-pocket expenses and, choosing the right insurance plan are commonly acceptable.
On the other side there are Eastern Europe countries, which will provide a public health-care, but if you'll have to pay for your own medicines and any advanced treatment that isn't covered by a state. And if you get to a hospital, they will feed you with dry bread and a bit of jam, and you'll be lucky if you have family members who will be able to bring you some quality food. It's also quite possible that you'll need to bribe someone in the hospital to be treated decently.
