Individual skill

healthcare-system-primer

Understand and enrol in a new country's healthcare system — how it works (public/private/insurance-based), what you're entitled to with your status, how to register with a doctor, get insurance if required, and what to do before you're covered. Use when someone says 'how does healthcare work in [country]', 'register with a doctor abroad', 'do I need health insurance in [country]', or 'I just moved and need to see a doctor'. Produces a system explainer, an enrolment checklist, a coverage-gap plan, and cost expectations. Orients and routes to official sources; not medical or insurance advice.

# Healthcare System Primer Skill

Healthcare systems are one of the most disorienting things about a new country because
they work on completely different logics — tax-funded and universal, insurance-mandated,
employer-tied, or pay-as-you-go — and getting it wrong means either an unexpected bill or
being uncovered when you need care. Newcomers routinely don't register until they're sick,
then discover a waitlist, a missing insurance requirement, or that they weren't eligible
yet. This skill explains how *this* country's system works for someone with your status,
gets you enrolled properly, and covers the gap before you're in the system. It orients and
routes to official sources; it gives no medical or insurance-purchase advice.
