Switzerland is a country with mandated private insurance so it should have 100% in this catagory. 129.2.180.238 (talk) 12:17, 5 December 2018 (UTC)Wil
From my understanding of a brief conversation with swiss in-laws this is correct - Switzerland has mandatory private insurance. Not government insurance. Jerdwyer (talk) 02:53, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
Undocumented Immigrants
editMany European countries do not give full coverage to undocumented/illegal immigrants, so their numbers should not all be 100%. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_availability_for_undocumented_immigrants_in_the_United_States "International perspective", "States can be grouped into 3 clusters: in 5 countries undocumented migrants have the right to access care that is more extensive than emergency care; in 12 countries they can only access emergency care and in 10 countries not even emergency care can be accessed".
Less than Emergency Care: Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, and Romania
'Minimal' care including Emergency: Germany, Hungary, Cyprus, Estonia, Denmark, Lithuania, UK, Poland, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Belgium and Greece
The article Wikipedia references (below) estimates 1% of the EU population are undocumented immigrants; of course the number will be higher or lower in some countries.
If I have time I will try to fix this in the article but anyone is welcome to do so.
Reference for the Wikipedia article is:
Cuadra, Carin Björngren (2012-04-01). "Right of access to health care for undocumented migrants in EU: a comparative study of national policies". European Journal of Public Health. 22 (2): 267–271. doi:10.1093/eurpub/ckr049. ISSN 1101-1262. PMID 21659389.
This list does not accord with the data it cites.
editSimple example: U.S. has more private than government. Check the source. 98.10.200.102 (talk) 21:13, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Exactly. And I don't really understand where in this awful source this data shows. The variables available are "total public and primary voluntary health insurance coverage," "government/compulsory health insurance coverage" and "voluntary health insurance (HI) coverage." — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrianKovo (talk • contribs) 00:13, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I spot checked a few and they matched the data, except for the US which was wildly divergent. I corrected the US to match the data in the source. ~~ Gunahunda ⋠Talk⋡ 11:31, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
