Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Porto?
When we asked expats in Porto if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Porto, they wrote...
"The cost of public medical care in Portugal is affordable once you're on the National Health System. I have not yet used the private services, so I can't compare their costs, but everyone I know who uses them (especially Americans) says the cost is relatively low. In Portugal there are small co-pays, which are cheaper than in the States (when I lived there), but I've never had to pay a co-pay in Canada (and I've lived in 5 provinces)," explained one expat living in Porto, Portugal.
