In Mexico, health inequality in the population is influenced by such social factors. These include circumstances in which people grow, live, work, and age and the systems put in place to deal with illnesses. In the past decade, Mexico has witnessed immense progress within its health care system that has allowed for greater access to health care and a decrease in mortality rate, but there are still various health inequalities caused by social factors. Poverty plays a big role in role in addressing health care.

Mexico’s healthcare system is relatively unequal. Despite an abundance of high-quality medical services and facilities, many people can only afford basic care.

Since 1988, the Brazilian constitution has guaranteed that everyone have access to healthcare in Brazil. This service can be obtained from the public national health system, from private providers subsidized by the federal government via the Social Security budget, or from the private sector via private insurance or employers.
Those who cannot afford to pay for healthcare in Brazil use the government’s free public national health system, mentioned above. They pay nothing for doctors’ fees, lab fees, hospitalization, surgery, or even prescription drugs.
For the highest quality of health care in Brazil, the private system is generally better than the public system, with shorter waits and better care. The more affluent Brazilians generally use this system, which covers about 20% of the Brazilian population. There are several hundred firms offering four principal types of medical plans: private health insurance, prepaid group practice, medical cooperatives, and company health plans.

The cost can vary, according to the provider, coverage, and region.

Most of Brazil's medical and hospital services are delivered through the private sector but are paid for by the government through the National Institute of Medical Care and Social Security (INMAPS).
