> Wow, that's cool. I wonder if vision, dental, medical, hospital, prescriptions and mental are all covered without fees?

In Poland they are. With fixed monthly fee proportional to your income, 9%.

7.5% of it you can directly deduct from your income tax. So it's effectively 1.25% of your income.

The only additional money is for drugs (prescription ones too), but if the drug is expensive and you have a prescription you pay vastly reduced price, 50%, 30%, fixed low price, or free.

Of course there are wait times and you don't get top of the line materials so middle class people prefer to do dental and vision privately. No insurance needed there. You just pay 30$ to have your tooth fixed or 50$ for eye exam and new glasses if you pick cheap frames.
