Health coverage is not health care.

Valid point but this just proves their health care is abysmal even though they are covered...

If we had a single party left wing system we'd have zero cases... just like China. Trump BTFO.

not true

it's more than adequate unless a pandemic comes along

does it occur to anyone that Europe has been testing and expanding upon the treatments used in Asia? and that in turn the US is doing the same? or do you all think the global medical community operates in a vaccuum?

That's been our experience, yes

We pay 60 euros each month for insurance as a condition of our visa.

Bro Covfefe has had a hernia operation and one on each leg to relieve circulation problems. Our copay 0 euros. Our waiting time less than a month from diagnosis to surgery. Less than a week for the hernia. (tbf we're in the private system)

We have a cousin who had colon cancer. He had surgery and went through treatment and gets regular follow ups. His out of pocket 0 euros under the public system.

Are the facilities bright and shiny? No. Do they go about things differently? Yes. (for example they didn't want to prescribe any painkillers after the hernia operation) But that doesn't stop Spain from providing decent healthcare to everyone who needs it.

You don't know what you're talking about.
