Universal Health care is via public health insurance.

You can pick from several public providers, but the price is basically fixed and deducted directly from your salary/payed by the state if you’re unemployed.

There is a 2nd system of private insurance providers. Those tend to get you preferential treatment at doctors because they pay them more than the public insurance which has fixed rates, but they will hike prices as you get older and you can’t go back to the public System.



Interesting, thanks for explaining
