The country has the most broken medical insurance system I have ever seen. Vox did a great piece on how it isn't possible to get a quote on having a baby in a hospital. Adam Ruins Everything also did a great episode on why it's so expensive. This affects me though. Despite my great (and expensive) coverage, I was unable to get a quote on a medical scan because it came down to what billing code the doctor chose to use on the day. And it often takes a couple months for all billing to be sorted out.
Many things are not covered by my insurer, which makes job ads where the company covers 100% of medical expenses very appealing.
Having said that, in the UK, NHS funding means while everything is free, wait times can be long, and they don't always have the latest and most expensive equipment. I found Australia to have the best balance and reasonable pricing.
