Price controls have been demonstrated to work in a number of other countries. I agree, in general, but when you have a proof by existence of efficacy, you can't really claim that they don't work in medicine.
I will quote:
> The insured person pays the insurance premium for the basic plan up to 8% of their personal income. If a premium is higher than this, the government gives the insured person a cash subsidy to pay for any additional premium.
So, it's a basic insurance that doesn't cover everything. Also quoting:
> "Health insurance covers the costs of medical treatment and hospitalization of the insured. However, the insured person 'pays part of the cost of treatment' and 'For hospitalisation, one pays a contribution to room and service costs'."
As you can see, there's no 'free' but subsidizied basic healthcare treatments, but then you should pay everything.
