Yep. Don't see anything unusual with that. E.g. if you break a leg, you will be placed to a free hospital ward with other 2-7 patients in the state clinic and you will eat the standard food which was cooked in the kitchen of your med block today. But if you have money, you can have a personal room with a personal menu, personal TV etc. This is how it works in Russia and AFAIK in other European countries too (never been to a clinic outside of my country).
