In Slovenia, if you're unemployed, you have to pay a bit more than €14 per month out of your own pocket for obligatory health insurance at the Health Insurance Institute (ie. public/state insurance). Oh and the fun part? If you don't have any income and your family fits the criteria, you can ask another part of the administration to pay it for you. That is after waiting 1 or 2 months in the best of cases and if they actually decide in your favour. This is not counting also the supplementary health insurance (read private) which is slightly over €30 if you wish to have any sort of security as well.
So yeah, if you don't have any sort of social net, you can either screw the state by extending your studies as long as possible, costing thousands of euros; or you can let the state take what little you have. And people wonder why we have tax evaders and a large grey economy, it's the only way to survive normally unless you have a huge salary.
