Hi folks
I have recently been made full time in my job, 40
hours a week. At present I still hold my medical card it experied in May 2020 and due to covid it had been extended for 1 year, I haven't herd anything yet but when it comes to renewing it I know I will loose it due to my earnings now of going full time, I will get a GP card but am just thinking if you had to go to hospital you would have to pay , if any of you hold a GP card have you taken out health insurance to cover hospital only or what is best to do

Any info appreciated

Up to a maximum of €800 per calendar year. So it’s free after 10 nights.
