Healthcare is free, however services can be slow sometimes. And you have to pay some money in addition to your taxes to the government.
You have a curious definition of "free" in Turkey.

I'm kidding, of course. It's interesting to hear how other nations have handled the challenge of ensuring it's citizens have good health care. You mentioned that obtaining services are slow, are there any widespread issues? Overall, it sounds like you're pleased with how your system works - would you agree?
I only ask because our system in the U.S. is seriously flawed, particularly for the uninsured, and I'm interested in hearing about success stories so that we might find a system that would work here.
