UmbralRaptop: that's just regular state-provided health insurance in RU
<whitequark>
(though you have to pay for antibiotics yourself unless you're in one of groups that get benefits)

makes too much for state-provided healthcare. (The limit generally amounts to working several hundred hours a year at minimum wage)

in CH you'll probably get the medecine from the doctor's hands directly, with the blisters cut to the right size :-p

Germany looks like this: Everyone is required to have an insurance. There are really expensive options for the rich, and one (1) option for everyone else which is cheap (and not even government based. It's just there). So when you need to see a doctor, there is some pretty heavy segregation between what you can do with your insurance (which is, 90% of the time, the one cheap option). The people that pay a lot
<APlayer>
usually get priority and have a wide choice of things that are paid for by the insurance, the others usually complain about the results. But yes, if you need any medicine, you mostly get it prescribed and free.
<APlayer>
Also, the specific place where I live is a hole in all aspects but the geographical one (unless you count meteorology as geography, in which case, yes, this is a hole). This includes health care, in the sense that the next /good/ doctor is at least 40 km away in the next larger city. We do have doctors here, but they are horrible, sometimes it is better not to visit one at all than to visit a local one.

I have an older acquaintance who had some sort of severe digestive tract issues. Could not sit for too long, because it started to affect his heart and circulation. Doctor insisted on monitoring his heart and completely ignored the digestive tract issues, saying that they were not related or something of that sort. Long story short, after two years of struggling with that, he went to a doctor further away, got
<APlayer>
antibiotics for some infection in his digestive tract and it fixed all his problems. Not fully, but he is recovering.
<APlayer>
The doctor failed to identify an infection for two years, despite the patient insisting to get checked on that.
