    What does medical insurance cost in your country?

    I've been reading about how different countries approach the concept of medical insurance, and I'm curious to know how much medical insurance costs in different countries.

    Can anyone tell me:

    1. What country you live in (include the state or province if relevant)

    2. How much medical insurance costs per month (on average) in your country

    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

      I live in Czech and pay a weekly pecentage of my wage to a medical insurance, don't have a clue what it is but probably not that much.

      But just signed up to a private clinic for medical care. $2,000 all in.

                  What does that $2000 get you?

                  Is that $2000 a year?

                                                      Is there a reason your wife costs more than you?

                                                              In Canada, healthcare is free if you make under X amount per year (It's very low, $19,000 or something).

                                                              At the top end, you pay about $40 per month.

                                                              Prescription, dental, eyes are all extra but are included at the employer's cost in many professional work enviroments.

Maybe he doesn't live in any of those provinces? Or maybe he doesn't have a big enough income to require premium payments.

BC, Alberta, and Ontario. Maybe he doesn't live in any of those provinces? Or maybe he doesn't have a big enough income to require premium payments.
                                                                                                          I am satisfied that it is the latter.

I also use Prevacid that's normally $102 a month so I DO get my money's worth out of it.

                                                                                                                                                              I have a question about insurance. What is a good company for "private health insurance" in Soutern California in the US?

                                                                                                                                                              I am not interested in HMO, PPO or Blue Cross... Are there any alternatives for more "higher end" insurance? Also, how come if I were to get regular insurance (when I am self employed) from a co as Blue Cross the benefits are not as good as if they would be if I got it from an employer?

                                                                                                                                                              The thing is that I am self employed and if I get Blue Cross the plans just suck. But my friends who work full time and got covered through their work also get Blue Cross but with much better coverage?!

                                                                                                                                                              Is there some way to get around this? That's why I am looking for the "best"
                                                                                                                                                              insurance alternative for someone who is self employed but no HMO please.

                                                                                                                                                              BlueCross would be around $190 for me ( single female, 26 no health problems at all) a month, but the coverage is not really good though.

                                                                                                                                                              With Blue Cross you have to pay a certain percentage, say 50% of the "negotiated fee" for certain procedures. Whatever the hell the "negotiated fee" is, is not even made clear. it is too vague.

My blue cross for example is the best you can get - $10 copay card, $10 drug card, all that good stuff. But its a group plan - the individual plans are crap, especially the drug plans.

My blue cross for example is the best you can get - $10 copay card, $10 drug card, all that good stuff. But its a group plan - the individual plans are crap, especially the drug plans.

                                                                                                                                                                          Check with a broker in your area.

                                                                                                                                                                          Yes, I think this is what I am looking for; a good group plan. That's probably why employers are able to offer their employees such excellent plans. In a way, I am a little bit jealous because the coverage is so great. I would be willing to pay more for a group plan, because insurance is very very important to me. Not sure how to get into a group plan, but I suppose I'll have to discuss that with a broker like you said.

Truly "lower income" people are available for discounted or free medical care. Almost every state has a very low cost insurance plan for those making as much as $45K per year for children under the age of 18.
