The following do not count towards the payment cap
A fee charged to a person who does not have a municipality of residence in Finland, except for a fee charged to a person who is entitled to health services under European Union law or an international agreement binding on Finland under the same conditions as a person residing in Finland or who is considered as equivalent to a resident of a municipality.
Very similar system here in Ireland, funded by the over 70% tax we pay (45% direct tax from earnings, 23% sales tax and hundreds of other “stealth” taxes).
Of course the healthcare systems in all EU countries forces the working citizens to subsidise the healthcare costs of all the foreign welfare parasites who have flooded the system.
Saying that healthcare is “free” is public service gaslighting.
