Yes, so far I have had four X-rays, three ultrasounds, an MRI scan, and one operation. I also get about twenty tablets a day and three intravenous antibiotics four times a day. By the time I leave I will have been in hospital several months and will have had several more operations. I also got picked up by ambulance. Total cost to me $0. The state pays it all. God only knows how much that would cost me in the US!
My only problem is I'm not working while I'm in hospital, all I got coming in is royalty on my book and a couple of sites I host. That does not pay much and I still have rent to pay on my apartment, local tax, phone charges, Internet connection (even though I'm not using it) etc.. So my savings are going fast!
