So those that pay for a social insurance have a different base healthcare level in Spain? Asking this because in Russia is doesn't matter if you pay the the taxes/social insurance or not. The state clinics will threat you the same way. Course we have a paid medicine here as well, so if you are an employee of some company, that company may provide you a special paid medical insurance in a commercial clinic where you can get a better service, but the basic medicine (free ambulance transfer, free place/food in a clinic, free tests, free treatment and free meds) is the same for everybody here.
For example, any adult in Russia has to pass a free x-ray and the basic medical tests every two years. Course nobody can force you to do so, but in some companies you may have a problem with your labor contract if you ignore these tests.

That's not a big money for a
commercial clinic actually. We have about the same prices in commercial clinics here.
