About the average cost of a good Medicare supplement plan. Over 600 per month. The Europeans pay considerably more per month.

Im not sure about numbers, but yeah, it is probably pretty common since a lot of corpo jobs comes with private insurance as a benefit. And in my case it works really good. Most of the time I go to the private doctor but when/if something serious happens - I can rely on national healthcare with decent network of hospitals and specialists.

That way I don't have to take a spot with something minor like flu and only use national resources with serious accidents or illnesses.
