excuse me for asking this question. but what is "health insurance"? do you contribute to this health insurance?
i'm from south africa and we have what we call "medical aids". each month we contribute to it and we are allocated a certain amount for doctors, hospital, meds, dentists etc. well unless you're in hospital for 2 years, there's really no limit on hospitals. it's fully covered by the medical aid. as for meds, we have to pay a levy of 10% of the meds. so if the meds are R100, then we pay R10. doctor's are paid by the medical aids as well as other specialists etc. i've never once had a problem with getting any meds for myself. whatever is prescribed by the doctor or whoever is given to the patient.
was just wondering about it.
