Medicare in Australia is probably different to yours. Only visitors and non-residents are ineligible, and even then some countries have reciprocal health agreements - Australia and the UK do for example. It covers about 85% of the scheduled fee for a doctor's visit, although some doctors of course charge more than that so the patient would have higher costs there.
