First of all, medical care is basically free in Italy. This concept of free medical care is still different from domestic social security:
Domestic social security is part of the government, part of the social security fund, and part of its own burden, that is to say, you still have to pay a little money to see a doctor. The difference is nothing more than the upper limit.
Italy's concept of free medical care is: as long as you are sick, as long as you are human, you don't have to pay to go to the hospital. Italy's outpatient service is divided into four levels: red, yellow, green and white. Red is a life-threatening emergency, as long as it comes, let the doctor wait on it immediately. Yellow is critical, but it won't hang immediately. When the doctor finishes reading the red, he will wait on yellow immediately. Of course, there are not so many red and yellow ones on weekdays, mainly green ones: sick (this conclusion is very important), but it won't be fatal. This one has to be queued. Red, yellow and green don't need money to see a doctor, no matter you are an Italian native or a foreign friend, or even a migrant worker who comes here illegally to support Italy's national construction. The last level is white, that is, there is no need to go to the hospital. It will be fine to see a family doctor or go back to sleep. If you get the white one, you'd better go home and rest. You have to wait until the first few colors are finished, and you have to pay the registration fee.
However, Europeans believe in death. Basically, China thinks that it is enough to carry a headache and fever. In Italy, a green card can be put up, so anyone who is ill in Italy can enjoy free medical care. Hospitals in Italy don't dispense medicines. Doctors only prescribe prescriptions and go to the streets to find pharmacies to dispense them. Doctors don't have much money in prescribing drugs, so naturally they don't prescribe imported high-priced drugs. Drugstores are also cheap stores, and a bag of drugs costs more than ten or twenty euros. In China, you can't leave the hospital without a few hundred dollars.
Italians also want to buy medical insurance, which is mostly the welfare provided by the company to employees, but it is used to install dentures and contact lenses. In Italy, besides government public hospitals, there are also church hospitals, and the overall medical system is good. Of course, Italians are also famous for their inefficiency. It is inevitable to get sick and go bankrupt in Italy, but the serious responsibility of Europeans is not covered. During the treatment, we will pay great attention to the patient's situation.
