Answer 1

I use to prefer the country of Germany because it has a universal multi-payer system. Germany has statutory health schemes which provide health services at free of cost for its residents. Under the mandatory health care system, both the employer and employee contribute equally to the insurance scheme. Travelers getting treatment for more than a year can get private health insurance. One can also get the European Health Insurance Card for the long care treatment of chronic diseases. Different providers offer services at different prices, so one can choose according to their convenience and can save a lot of money. The country also provides special offer for abroad insurers. It also has private insurance where the payment depends upon the age and health condition. Besides all, it provides a high quality of care for all.
