Australia. A broken arm no fee. General check up - no fee.
Not in WA. $95 for a 10 minute GP consult, but you get ~$35 back from Medicare. It is usually a 2 week wait to get an appointment but a maybe 10 minute wait in the waiting room. Urgent care is ~$180, wait is up to 2 hours. Emergencies are $0 but wait times can vary from 5 minutes to 3 hours. I wouldnt want to do hospital care without private health insurance.
some insurance( a specific type of hmo) the ambulance is 75/use, and 200/ER visit. this doesnt include TESTS, or Rx, specialists in the er. im using one that has this, because i was earning just enough to not get subsidized healthcare from the state.
