Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Finland?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Finland if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Finland, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Finland are generally considered to be of high quality and relatively affordable. All Finnish citizens and permanent residents are entitled to public healthcare, which is funded by taxes and is free at the point of use. Private health insurance is also available, but it is not necessary for most people as the public system covers most medical needs. Private health insurance can be beneficial for those who want more choice in their healthcare provider or faster access to certain treatments," explained one expat living in Finland.
