Country is Croatia. Yeah its a lot for sure. Doing any helth check is painfull, waiting for months or even more than a year, but if its emergency you will get fast and good threatment. Sad part is corrupted doctors who take money to make things faster, but thats normal for balkan afaik.
16.5% covers most of the cost, but for example if you need some medication you might have to participate with 0.5-2 €. It depends on the medication, some are completely free and for some you have to pay bit more than that. Another example are some more expensive meds that are not covered by insurance at all, you will pay full price (it can be a lot), but paying 10€ a month for extra insurance will cover most of them.
Which country is that? 16.5% sounds huge. What isn't free with that?
Australia has universal health care for 2% (most people) to 3.5% (a surcharge for higher earners).
Plus, in some states ambulance is free.
