Few countries can afford to pay for universal state healthcare so they seek solutions:
State health insurance;
Compulsory health insurance using insurers;
Compulsory travel health insurance for visitors;
Increasing co-pays.
An increasing number control cover, price and acceptance- even when insurers provide the cover.
For some states, there are different rules for locals, expatriates, students and travellers.
Another approach gaining popularity is to regulate the price of healthcare, so that even private health providers have prices imposed.
For insurers, agencies, brokers and global companies, keeping up to date about the current and upcoming law in overseas countries is almost impossible.
This is not a historic look or academic discussion of the subject-but a bang up to date look at where we are now and where we are going in 2016 and beyond.
