Private Health Care in Europe Does Exist

I have a feeling that most Americans think that all European healthcare is directly provided for, or paid for, by the government. This is not entirely accurate.

The Brussels Journal reports on differing systems in Europe. This even includes systems where there is some level of opting out from the government program, or where opting out is mandatory for some people. It also includes systems where private insurance can be added as an additional layer on top of government-provided health care.

That is all.
