As a foreigner living in Granada, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

We asked expats in Granada if they have access to public healthcare in Granada. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"No, not yet. We just moved to Granada eight months ago. My understanding is that after a year, we can join the public health system. Expats in my area are typically enrolled in private health insurance. We have Sanitas private health insurance and we are happy with them, It’s not difficult to enroll, We paid about €188 per month for two people with a full coverage with no copay and no deductible. There are public hospitals in our area but we have never used them because we are not yet eligible to join until after living in Spain for a year.. We used the private hospital Vithas and are very happy with them," commented one expat who made the move to Granada, Spain.
