Well, there is public and private health care. Public hospitals are either in the ISSTE system for public employees, the IMS system for people who work in the private sector, and then there is a third one I don't know much about... These hospitals are generally overrun with patients, while understaffed, though some are worse than others, depending on where they're located. One of the things that I can't seem to get used to, is how every time someone needs surgery they have to organize a blood drive among family and friends, in order to replenish the blood reserves they're going to use up during the operation. But at least they don't need to bring their own food and toilet paper to the hospital, like it's common in Hungary!

Then there are private hospitals, for which you need a private insurance (or loads of cash), and they are supposedly much better... still, see my own experience! So in a way, they are not that much better. And sure, there are also so called "first class" hospitals, which even my private insure doesn't cover, but guessing from the German nursing home I worked in, the actual difference in service may in fact be voice-operated window shades, or some similar gimmick.
