Sweden, and I believe most other European countries, have a ceiling for how much you have to pay per year for prescribed medicines. In Sweden the limit is around 575€ per year with a 50% rebate kicking in at 120€. This rebate gradually increases to 90% which it hits at 415€.
Edit: misread the infographic i used. Actual ceiling is 235€ out of pocket, after that your prescriptions are filled at no cost to you.
