Health care in your Nation

[Pimps Inc]

In Pimps Inc,the government does kind of try to give free or at least affordable healthcare to the population.However,they are,for the most part,a failure and the rich end up having free healthcare for no charge while the struggling poor must pay thousands of dollars just for saying "hi" to the doctor.

What about your nation?Is your nation's healthcare actually practical or are you a 'Murica type of nation in which the poor get screwed over by the Fat Cats known as "doctors"?

Free healthcare is provided for Tier One citizens. Tier Two citizens are given healthcare by the state, but their taxes are raised until they have payed their debt in full. Tier Three citizens get nothing.

[Tolmakia]

How does healthcare work in your country?
All citizens of Tolmakia are subjected to free healthcare services. The costs are usually paid out by tax or investment.

Does it always work?
Most of the time. The only disadvantages are when investors are abruptly pulled out or there is a decrease in the economy. So far (and fortunately) none of these have affected the healthcare greatly.

[Saurisisia]

Healthcare is completely privatized, corporations handle the healthcare while charities provide it for those who cannot afford regular healthcare.

[Kongerige]

Healthcare is 100% privatized. The government offers no healthcare to its citizens, since it gives a better incentive to work better and earn more money to be more covered and ready to pay for curing more serious illnesses than just some common cold or fever. Also, Herredømmet Kongerige isn't some socialist state, I'll have you know. We have viable private education on medicine, so when you find a doctor and you pay, you will very likely get what you paid for.

[Atlanticatia]

How does healthcare work in your country?
Atlanticatia has a free, universal single payer health care system.
AtlantiCare is the sole provider of public health care in Atlanticatia. All residents of Atlanticatia who have a work visa, permanent residency, or citizenship are entitled to free health care from AtlantiCare. People who are not residents of the country, are entitled to free emergency care, provided that the emergency happened while in Atlanticatia.

Most services are wholly subsidized and free at the point of use. Some services may have small user fees, though. For example, there is a $5 dispensing fee for prescriptions(those under 18 and over 65 pay no fee), a $20 fee for spa treatment, a $500 charge for cosmetic braces, $25 for non essential cosmetic dentistry visits, a $40 fee for cosmetic dermatology visits, etc. Generally, all medically necessary treatment is free.
If people are on low incomes, they will have a Health Access Card, which reduces fees for them. All user fees are either cheaper or waived for them.

We spend about 9% of GDP on healthcare. You can read more about AtlantiCare here.

Does it always work?
Yes, it is very efficient. It has short waiting times. If someone experiences excessive waiting times, they are entitled to receive treatment at a private facility, with all costs paid by Atlanticare.
There are 12 local health boards. Each board consists of 12 democratically elected members: 6 are doctors and 6 are community representatives. These boards manage local hospitals, payment of doctors, act as a health care ombudsman, and provide a forum for local citizens to voice their opinion on the direction of their health system.

[The Dutch Reich]

Healthcare? When someone in the Reich becomes too sick to fight, we shoot them.

[Alizeria]

Alizeria has one of the oldest public healthcare systems in the world, with the Royal Alizerian Public Healthcare System (RAPHS) dating back to the year 1514, when it was founded by a royal decree from King Matthew III.

The decree stipulated that, "All subjects of my Kingdom shall be entitled to one free leech paid for from taxation, according to his needs or ailment for purposes of increasing his general health and wellbeing, regardless of his social status."

The system was finally expanded by Prime Minister Walter Ellis-Ashby in the 1930s, as part of the creation of the Alizerian welfare state. By the 1930s, leeches were no longer considered the "best practice" as far as healthcare was concerned, and so the public healthcare system expanded to include modern hospitals, dental care and general practitioners.

In the late 90s, the healthcare system was reformed so that rather than a nationwide service, money was directed to County Health Boards in proportion to the population of those counties, and management of the public health system was transferred to County councils, rather than the central government.

Funding cuts also meant that dental care, GP visits and medication are now subsidised rather than free, with citizens having to pay some money for these services.

It is widely believed that Alizeria's public health system is in decline. While it is free and useful in emergencies, for all other purposes it is known for ridiculously long waiting times, and a lack of funding and efficiency, leading more and more Alizerians to take private health insurance and use competing private healthcare providers instead.

[Themiclesia]

A majority of states have single-player state-funded free healthcare, but this is by no means enforced through a national statute.

[Evil Lord Bane]

How does healthcare work in your country?
Their are two levels of heath care in this nation, public and private options.

The public option is a free service provided by the government to all of our citizens. It's funded though an excise tax (often called the Sin Tax) on tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs, and covers all necessary or emergency health services.

The Private option is a optional heath insurance, paid for by the insurees, which provides coverage for non-emergency health care, like elective surgery.

Does it always work?
Yes it does, very well and it insures all of our citizens have necessary or emergency health services at no cost.

[Novolydia]

How does healthcare work in your country?

Healthcare is one of the most important duties of our government. We don't let anyone to contribute to healthcare by founding his/her own private initiative. That causes corruption in healthcare. They try to give better benefits to citizens for much higher prices. And since they would be for-profit organizations, they don't actually care about health but merely money. We collect tax from our citizens according to their annual incomes and offer them free healthcare.

Does it always work?

It always works because people are not exploited by private sector charlatans here. They pay taxes and we take care of them. Very simple and effective.

[New Vudnia]

[Novus Niciae]

How does healthcare work in your country?
Universal healthcare paid for by the treasury. Citizens have free access to a full range of essential and cosmetic medical procedures at public hospitals and clinics free of charge, although emergency cases are given priority at public hospitals.

Does it always work?
It almost always works.

[Wraland]

What's this healtchare thing? Can you drive over it?

[Flaxxony]

There aren't any patents in Flaxxony, so all the newest drugs are available upon release and healthcare is already affordable due to high competition.

All citizens get a dividend as they hold stock in the government.

[Xekliv]

Yes.

[Pakra]

We have a universal health care system.

[Vampirum]

How does healthcare work in your country?

From our factbook:

Vampires are extremely healthy and resilient. Hospitals and healthcare itself are usually human only amenities and used only by our human citizens. Because of this, healthcare of any type is offered free of charge by the state as long as the person is an official and legal citizen of Vampirum. Tourists and abroad students are given a special 'healthcare incentive' which allows them the free of charge offer as well, but only up to a certain date. After which they'll have to pay varied fees.

Does it always work?
Yes. Our healthcare system has been in place for several decades without a need to change.

[Arko-Oklahoma]

Free, and there is no such thing as a private hospital, all hospitals are government property. Doctors are paid by the state.

[Esalvia]

How does healthcare work in your country?
Esalvia has a semi private healthcare system. Semi private in this case doesn't mean some parts of the healthcare sector is fully private and others universal, it's that everything is private, just extremely subsidized to the point where the most unfortunate can easily afford it. There are some health services that are completely free under the New Health Act (Esalvia: Jokamsjorovokiju, Jokamsju for short) which makes dental care (orthodontics as well), health checkups, vaccinations, and a majority of essential treatments completely free of charge. Certain medicines also became free of charge as a result. This act also ensured that cosmetic surgery and other forms of cosmetic care had affordable prices, and made a visit to the cosmetic surgeon was akin to going to the salon. By extension, one can easily pay to receive a faster service. This act further ensured that those in the medical profession recieved a higher income for their civil work, and gave extensive protection and benefits to the unions and R&D sectors of healthcare.

This is also as a result of the anti-insurance policies that followed Prime Minister Jusef Alijećekov Pasja's term, which imposed heavy regulation on health insurance under the basis that it was unethical and was heavily biased under certain circumstances for certain diseases. The Jokamsju was also conceived during his term.

Does it always work?
It is fairly efficient other than the fact that some still believe it would be of great benefit to revert back to a nationalized health service.
