- paledot 4y agoInteresting. In the summary, it's not clear what qualifies as "compulsory health insurance": > Health care is financed through a mix of financing arrangements including government spending and compulsory health insurance (“Government/compulsory”) Digging into the source report[0], we see the following footnote exclusive to the US: > All spending by private health insurance companies reported under compulsory health insurance. Category “Other” refers to financing by NGOs, employers, non-resident schemes and unknown schemes.
