Q: I live in a country where health insurance is compulsory. But the fine for not being insured would be less than the fees for being insured I think. On the other hand we wouldn't be able to pay my mothers treatment otherwise. Plus I think my wife is pregnant. And the costs that come with that also I wouldn't be able to pay without health insurance. The only alternative I can think of would be not to register her here but keep her registered in her home country and let her be treated there. But that would cause a lot of difficulty for us. What shall we do in this situation?
