Default Re: Health Insurance Blues:How do small business owners & Musicians manage this?

Haha Here in sweden it is a total of 200 dollars and after that you can visit the emergency or private doctors as many times you want for zero cents.

Also a cap for ALL meds at 199 dollars a year so if your first prescription is 200 bucks then you have free meds for a whole year

All operations and xrays and whatever treatments that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars are capped at the $200 scheme so no one with cancer or heart problems or needs a pacemaker or whatever pay more than $200 a year and all is included no matter what illness you have.

Also an emergency visit is only $30 and private clinics $20 a visit no matter if you have to stay for a day or a month or longer. All physio and aftercare is also counted toward that 200 dollar a year cap. So thats why I would never move permanent out of swedish health care as we are taken care of until we pass on.

If you dont have the $30 for an emergency visit you can ask the state and they will pay it and you dont even get a reminder fee should it go months before tou can pay the bill. Health care and hospitals are not allowed to go after people who cant pay as it is against the government laws.
