I will also say that these services aren’t the best. What I mean is that the medical doctors are indeed competent and won’t release you until you’re cured or healthy enough depending on your condition, but expect to be at the hospital all day for an appointment that you got at least a month in advance.

Having said that, it sure beats going bankrupt or paying out of pocket. I don’t mean to dunk on these state-driven services, but people need to be sober about these things.

Most importantly it provides a “minimum bar” that everyone has access to. Nothing prevents people from getting additional private insurance, say as a benefit from a job, but there’s a humane minimum level of coverage and benefits people can get without going bankrupt.
