I have been wondering about medical care in other countries, timing of my question might not be the best but I've been curious about this for a while.
Two scenarios: First one is a child has cancer. In the U.S. the familycould likely max out their insurance coverage and the family may struggle to continue paying the medical bills. I don't thunk the child would ever be turned away from treatment but the family will struggle financially for who knows how long.
Second scenario is a car accident leaves a person with hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills. Auto insurance companies file lawsuites against the person who caused the accident to make their insurance company pay and when that money runs out more lawsuits may be filed against the individual.
Would these cases be handled differently in cou tries with nationalhealth care? Do families face financial pressure like mentioned above or is everything covered so those worries do not exist. Do people still need big insurance policies for accidents and unforseen illnesses?
