75: Healthcare systems in Europe: What Americans need to know


Listen Later

You’ve just moved to Europe, settled into your new apartment… and then you get sick. Now what? Do you need insurance? How do you see a doctor? And is it going to cost a fortune?

In this episode, we’re breaking down what Americans need to know about healthcare systems in Europe. We’ll compare the U.S. healthcare system to what you’ll find abroad, walk through public vs. private healthcare options, and look at the real costs of doctor visits, medications, and insurance in top expat destinations like Spain, France, Germany, and more.

You’ll learn:

  • Why many Americans are relieved to leave the U.S. healthcare system behind
  • How healthcare costs compare across countries
  • When (and why) expats might still want private insurance
  • What steps to take before you move abroad

If the idea of free and quality healthcare sounds too good to be true, you'll want to give this episode a listen.
