In countries with universal healthcare insurance, why does healthcare insurance exist? (because everyone pays the same price)
In: Other
It depends on the country.
Example: I currently live in Belgium, and twisted my ankle. The state system meant I needed to pay 15 euros to go to the ER, have an X ray, etc.
Private insurance would cover the cost of, say, needing to take taxis or a bus to work, or other things that are beyind what a doctor can do.
