The problem with insurance funded healthcare systems is the insurance company finding exceptions. Healthcare becomes conditional on their terms and conditions.
Unfortunately true yes. When I worked in Singapore I had private insurance paid by my employer. Worked very well on a trip to hospital as I only had to show the card and payment was taken automatically. However I never quite knew exactly what else was funded and what was excluded.
I was also told a story about an expat whose wife gave birth and the baby had some problems. In the small print there was a cover exclusion for something like the first few months of life.The Singapore MD rang the insurance company and threatened to pull the company account worldwide if they didn’t pay up and it is only then they relented. I guess what I am saying is I take your point.
