Healthcare in Chile

Hi Julien.

I have never had tu use Healthcare system in Chile, but my wife is Chilean and she tells me all the time public healthcare is terrible. If I understood correctly in public healthcare the service is poor and you have to pay a fee depending on your income. She had a surgery 8 years ago, and if she had gone to public system she would have had to pay 80% of the cost.

On the other hand she had to provide a blank cheque to have the surgery in the privatevsystem.

Unfortunately I don't have a first person experience to share.
