Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Austria?
When we asked expats in Austria if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Austria, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Austria are generally considered to be quite expensive. The cost of health insurance is based on a person's income, and can be quite high for those with higher incomes. Additionally, the cost of medical care in Austria is generally higher than in other countries, and many people find it difficult to afford the necessary treatments. However, the Austrian government does provide some subsidies for those who cannot afford health insurance, and there are also a number of private health insurance companies that offer more affordable plans," explained one expat living in Austria.
