Ok I'm going to give you the country, it's Ireland.

Some medical card for the destitute exists but if you're working you don't qualify.

The whole medical system is a nightmare, but it's a very small country as well.

From the description I assumed it was one of the more Eastern European countries like Romania. I've never looked at Ireland like that. I assumed they had the same setup as most of western EU countries.

[Born and raised Irish, left at the first opportunity ]

Ireland is a weird (and sometimes nightmarish) mix of European and American culture. For some reason we decided that some of the dumbest ideas of the US simply had to be implemented, at great cost to the average citizen.
