1. I live in Korea and have had National Health Care for over a decade

It's great.
I pay 3-10 bucks when I see my doctor
And prescriptions are normally about 8 dollars

If I see a specialist (like physical therapy) it's 30-50
X-rays are about 50

Children's vaccines are rather pricey at 130-200 (have nothing to compare that to since no Children born in the US)

My annual flu shot is 15

I've had four root canals and two caps put on my teeth -- these are considered oral surgery so they are covered and the total is probably a little over 1000 for all

Longest wait to see a Dr was 50 minutes. It was a Monday after Chuseok which was a three day holiday plus Sunday.

I love it.

on edit: I pay 56 bucks a month per person. Family of 6 336 a month
