@you are wearing all the reason.We are privileged.In Europe there are countries whose coverage is partial, Germany or France where each one is subscribed to cover the percentage that the SS does not cover.In Switzerland there are no SS, they are all private insurance (they offered me a position there and I was looking at it)
I am in favor that each one paid according to their income, because there are a lot of people who economically should pay a little more and that would give a clearance for other people more needy.Especially pensioners with high pensions that take everything for free and accumulate.(My aunt with € 2400 of pension accumulates quiet and lexatin per kilos)
I debuted in Sanitas, for the emergency room and when they discharged me, the endocrine that went to the SS that Sanitas does not cover anything and the treatment is very expensive.I did so.
Currently only pay the Amazon glucose strips at a rate of € 25 each box of 50 strips.I have been 4.5 years paying the freestyle, € 60/unit, first on 1 and then the 2, in addition that in its day I also bought the reader € 60, about € 1,440 a year.
@_Tacker_ I don't know what you chase because you have given yourself the cost response.
Well, what I pursue in quotes is to talk about the cost that each one is something that should not cost anything according to the rent, especially I wanted to talk about those who surrounded here, and of course it seems to me the opinion of everyone, for that is a forum, but I would have liked that just as you are talking about health, I exposed your case, which is what this thread is for.
The same as if we talk about hypertension, but at least tell me that it is the cost or that it has meant for you, I have been in Germany and England working, and I have gone to the doctor on occasion.But that would be another thread, it is like talking about supermarkets here and in Venezuela, which I have also been.
My intention was to talk about each one and the impact that diabetes makes in our economies.That is why the thread is called how much your diabetes costs, and not how health is in other countries, or what type of car is taller for a diabetic.
The bad thing about talking here is that accents are not captured, and talking to others sometimes is not understood that it is not trying to offend or disturb, if not to reconsider what the thread is about.
I have worked in six countries and enjoy its health, but it is not the thread.If you open one I will give you my contribution.I never need anything for diabetes in other countries, it was not yet, and less badly, why in effect, we do not know the luck we have, even those not financed, in that in Spain, if you fight a little you pass from thePrivate to public health, or both at the same time.Without any problem.
By the way, when I was poorly diagnosed as DM2, I had to buy the glucometer and the strips, lancetas ... and for me I was standing and studying, it meant almost two hundred euros that left me dry, because I bought what the pharmacist recommendedAnd it was nothing cheap
