100% free here if you are willing to deal with not such a nice room and probably longer wait times at a public hospital here In Argentina, you can also get a pre paid medical care service and go to the nice hotel style clinics.. but for emergencies you allways end up at public hospitals.. some years ago during the time of the SARS scare.. i had a terrible headache the night after i flew down from the US.. my private insurance was canceled since i had been away for too long so I had to go to a Public hospital.. there they asked me why i was there.. just a headache will make you wait in line for maybe 1 or 2 hours max.. but since i just had landed from another country and cause of the SARS scare they took me in inmediately.. withitn 15 minutes I had both an MRI and Cat Scan toghether with tons of blood tests.. they where able to rule SARS out, gave me an intramuscular painkiller that hurted my asss like there was no tomorrow and dismissed me, all of this in just 2 hours since I walked in, as per free NON URGENT care.. you can even get nosejobs here.. my mother got her nosejob done at a public hospital for free. the only thing she had to do is let a tons of medicine students watch the surgery and she had to wait for like 6 months.. for boob jobs you are supposed to pay for the implants but the rest is all free.. If you can wait like 1 year, you can even get Lasik for free..
