Show answer and explanation
✓ Falso
False. The Sistema Nacional de Salud (the National Health System) offers free public health care to people who have a right to it, and it is paid for with taxes. It covers family doctor visits, emergencies and hospitals. There are only some partial payments, for example a part of the price of certain prescription medicines. To be seen you need the tarjeta sanitaria (health card), which is arranged at the centro de salud (health centre).
