Sup guys!

How is the national health system in your country?

Here in Spain it's free for workers that are afiliated to social security, as well as his/her husband/wife and sons. However, if you are over 26 and have never worked you have to pay for it.

If you are fired from work, you are granted free access as well. Currently, foreigner can only access emergency services.

The management of the system is taken care by every region, which can make its own regulations on Public Health.

One downside is that there can be long times until you are attended by an specialist or for some kind of surgerys.

Private insurances are also possible, but not quite popular.

Germanfag here. We are running out of nurses. The hospitals don't treat them well enough (to much unpaid overtime, not enough pay in general), unless they are freelance nurses, then they can get a fuckload of money. However, the government isn't treating the freelance nurses fairly. You know the drill: You get paid 3000 shekelz and 1500 of them go to different insurances that you are legally required to have in order to function as a citizen. Goddamn welfare state.

Same here. Lots of feels. Can you even win that game?

People in general earn very well in Germany, but the expenses are also pretty high, as are the unemployment benefits. Not the best incentive if you want people to actually work.

Not sure about specialties, but as a freelance nurse, you can get paid very, very well. I know one that earned several thousand euros or so in a month, although she was also working upwards of 60 hours a week at the time.

I'm from Poland.

I can only sum up the NFZ's actions in three words; don't fucking bother.

It's best to assume it doesn't exist and accept that it's the wild west out there, you pay or you die.

In mexico they downgraded the nursery, so it's no longer a profession but an art of attending people
