4. Finland
Yet another European country offers citizens both universal healthcare and free university courses – Finland. The Nordic country is known for offering everyone, including immigrants with a permanent residence, free healthcare. This is done via a national health insurance that covers all Finnish residents. Not only do patients have access to free care in hospitals, but medicine is also subsidized, while sickness and maternity leave allowances are also covered, to name a few of the benefits that come with the local insurance.
Universities are also tuition free in Finland, as the government offers funds for this as well, considering education to be one of the most important areas to invest in. Books and other study materials have to be purchased out of pocket, however.
