Hmmmm. I don't want the government to step in. That was kinda the point of me leaving Europe, I want everyone to fuck off xD. Poland (my native country) has absolutely terrible healthcare and I was uninsured in Poland. Also not insured in Sri Lanka but each time I had to go doctors were actually helpful and fixed my problems. In Poland each time I went to doctors I was sicker and sicker. At some point I landed at polish immunologist that came back from years in Switzerland, he was really pissed, started cursing his colleagues and said they purposefully addict and poison patients. Then he sent me to the hospital where another doctor removed most of my meds over time. After that I weaned myself off from last inhaler at home and never went to a doctor again. Next time I went to any doctor was this year in Sri Lanka, lol. In comparison to that sri lankan doctors are good, also nice ayurvedic treatments are available. I pay out of pocket. Oh, but pharmacists are terrible here. I don't bother even, I order online or when I had prescription I went to hospital's pharmacy, they just give what doctor wants.Everything that includes living in another country, medical and renting processes (in case of issues/disputes where the government needs to step in) etc..
Renting... Well, we had to stamp our thumbs on the agreement, seemed ok to me *shrugs*. Didn't had a dispute yet.
Honestly for me it's a pro, not a con, I'm looking for as little government intervention as possible. If that changes I'd probably leave for a place with less government drama.
From my perspective, things that I actually don't like:
- No urban planning so cities look... Questionable
- Limited availability of products in comparison to Europe and they put triclosan everywhere
- Visa process is a pain, but that seems to be a problem in whole Asia
