In Taiwan, I pay for Universal Healthcare because I own a business. 5800nt(185usd) every 2 months for a familyof 4. It would be 3000nt(100usd)for 2 months if it's just myself.
The copay is 10usd for everything. Fever? Food poisoning? Chemotherapy? All the same cost. This includes all the medications and all incidental costs.
If you worked for a Taiwan company, you don't have to pay the 5800nt. But the copay is the same.
in Spain , if only one out of x people in their family works, all the rest of the family members are insured for universal healthcare, as long as they are legal residents or citizens of course.
In Canada, you pay nothing for anything that isn't elective as long as you're a resident. You just need to register for a healthcare number which can be done at admittance.
I am Canadian too. If I remember correctly, you had to get your family doctor to refer you to a specialist for anything major. During this time, your condition can get worse.
I haven't heard much better about Americans waiting until they die for their insurance company to deny care, or wait for months to find a spot in network, and pay hundreds to thousands of dollars a month for the privilege. I think we do pretty good up here, as life expectancy and outcome comparisons would show.
American have it the worse. No competition. At this point I wouldn't move back to the US anymore. I might move back to Ontario somewhere.
Taiwan sounds amazing!
My entire mindset of Healthcare had to change when I moved here. Previously in America, when I got a fever or a rash or a major allergy, I would see if its worth it to go to a clinic and sit for a few hours with other sick people and pay 75USD for them to tell me to go to a drug store and eat some Tylenol.
Now, I go into the clinic downstairs even if I have a cold. 10USD and they gave me a week's worth of meds. It's normal to go back to the doctor 2 days after if your condition worsens or if you just had a question.
I have yearly check ups and my doctor told me I needed to do a colonoscopy. If I opted for staying awake during it, its 10USD. But I elected to be put to sleep. It was 310usd.
Come visit us on your next vacation! The people here are very polite and pretty happy.
I guess I need to look into tiwanese citizenship
Sadly enough for you, the whole nation just died by syntax error.
