Rich Europe and America are all free medical care countries, while developed countries such as Britain, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark are all free medical care for all, and all expenses are fully borne by the state. The United States, Canada and other countries implement the medical insurance system, but it is free for the retired elderly and the poor.

BRICS countries refer to Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, among which Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa implement free medical care. Take South Africa as an example, its national medical bill stipulates that free medical care is applicable to people without medical insurance, regardless of nationality or immigration status; In short, illegal refugees are not a problem. Similar regulations in Russia are similar to those in South Africa.

Although Indian free medical care is often ridiculed by netizens in China, its medical system still provides considerable medical security for its citizens. India stipulates that as long as you are in India, no matter where you come from, registration, examination, medical treatment and medical expenses in public hospitals are free, and nutritious meals are also provided.

Both Cuba and North Korea, which belong to the Eastern Group, have free medical care, and it is said that it is completely free for everyone. Of course, queuing is inevitable, and there must always be a rule of seeing a doctor first.

African countries, Mauritius and China have similar per capita GDP and implement free medical care; Tanzania's per capita GDP is about110 of China's, and free medical care is implemented; Seychelles, whose per capita GDP is about twice that of China, implements free medical care.

Free medical introduction

Free medical care for the whole people does not mean that no one pays for medical treatment, but that government departments or medical insurance institutions pay most or even all medical expenses, and patients pay no or only a little medical expenses symbolically.

In an interview with People's Daily, Commissioner Zhang Qicheng also expressed the same view that "free medical care for all" does not mean that it is completely free, nor does it mean that it is completely borne by the financial sector, but a universal medical insurance system with a higher level of protection and a lower proportion of individual contributions.

The specific suggestion is to rely on the existing medical security system, make overall use of medical insurance funds and financial funds, and adopt the model of "basic medical insurance pays first+financial bottom" to share medical expenses.

From abroad, there are two modes of free medical care. One is the planned economy countries such as North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela. The state runs a hospital, which is a functional department of the government, fully supported by the state finance and only responsible for treating patients free of charge. There is no economic calculation in medical behavior.
