You get yourself private health insurance here.
Unlike the USA where employers tend to pay for it… it is normal and expected that ordinary private individuals on normal salaries pay for their own private health insurance.
it is NOWHERE NEAR as expensive as in the USA. I’m currently 41 and pregnant, with some (small) existing issues and I pay around $140 a month for “hospital and extras” cover—which I’ve used.
For somebody young and willing to have just the bare essentials, it would be much less than that…
don’t forget that our government healthcare is exceptional and cheaper that the US even when you have to pay full price.
We don’t have the horrific “pay $100 for a tablet of acetomenophin” style BS you regularly find in the US
