Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Dublin?
When we asked expats in Dublin if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Dublin, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Dublin, can be considered expensive for some individuals, particularly those without private insurance. The public healthcare system, funded by the government, provides free or subsidized care to citizens, but it can be overwhelmed, leading to long waiting times and limited access to certain treatments. On the other hand, private health insurance offers quicker access to specialists and private hospitals, but it comes at a higher cost. The expense of health insurance can vary depending on the coverage level and the individual's age and health status. Overall, the cost of healthcare and health insurance in Dublin can be a significant financial burden for those without adequate coverage or access to public services," said a member in Dublin, Ireland.
