Yep, insurance (which is universal and funded through taxes mostly) covers a vast array of stuff, from severe surgeries to small checkups.

Even cancer chemotherapy wouldn't cost me a penny. I do pay around 30 usd monthly to cover me, my significant other, and my children - when it comes to those small medical costs (medical checkups, vaccines etc.).

Everything more complicated is covered by the tax system :D

I do not think there could be a situation where they would decline to operate, or that they would bankrupt me with the bill.
