The French health care system is one of universal health care largely financed by government national health insurance. In its 2000 assessment of world health care systems, the World Health Organization found that France provided the "close to best overall health care" in the world.[1] In 2011, France spent 11.6% of GDP on health care, or US$4,086 per capita,[2] a figure much higher than the average spent by countries in Europe but less than in the US. Approximately 77% of health expenditures are covered by government funded agencies.

Everybody living in Germany has access to healthcare
For most people, health insurance is paid for through your monthly salary - you’ll have to contribute around 7.5% of it and your employer contributes about the same amount on top.

The German private healthcare system

You can choose private healthcare instead of GKV if you earn over a certain amount (€57,600 in 2017), or if you’re self-employed or a civil servant.

Self-employed people have to pay their full health insurance bill themselves, with no government help unless they’re eligible for the KSK
The benefit of statutory insurance is that your contributions don’t change as much over time, instead being based on your income. But because private premiums are based on risk, this can sometimes be more favourable for younger people.

Private insurance holders also get certain perks when visiting the doctor. They may get priority in setting up appointments and in consulting the head doctor. But private companies also require you to pay upfront and then will reimburse you, whereas statutory firms receive the bills themselves.

The French health care system is generally recognised as offering  one of the best, services of public health care in the world. Above all, it is a system that works, provides universal cover, and is a system that is strongly defended by virtually everyone in France.
The health care system in France is made up of a fully-integrated network of public hospitals, private hospitals, doctors and other medical service providers. It is a universal service providing health care for every citizen, irrespective of wealth, age or social status.

In Japan, services are provided either through regional/national public hospitals or through private hospitals/clinics, and patients have universal access to any facility, though hospitals tend to charge more to those patients without a referral. As above, costs in Japan tends to be quite low compared to those in other developed countries

The French health care system is funded in part by obligatory health contributions levied on all salaries, and paid by employers, employees and the self employed; in part by central government funding; and in part by users who normally have to pay a small fraction of the cost of most acts of health care that they receive.
Economic difficulties in France in recent years, combined with an ageing population, mean that the system is not working as well in 2017 as it used to; and while waiting lists and waiting times are generally short, black spots have begun to emerge. Caps on numbers of medical and nursing students have recently been raised, and levels of reimbursement for non-essential treatment have been reduced – though complementary and contributary health insurance schemes, known as "Mutuelles", have take up some of the difference.

Healthcare has better outcomes here with Japan having the highest life expectancy in the world of 83. All that medical care helps keep the Japanese alive longer than any other people on Earth while fostering one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates

Health care in Japan -- a hybrid system funded by job-based insurance premiums and taxes -- is universal and mandatory, and consumes about 8 percent of the nation's gross domestic product, half as much as in the United State

But many health-care economists say Japan's low-cost system is probably not sustainable without significant change. Japan already has the world's oldest population; by 2050, 40 percent will be 65 or older. The disease mix is becoming more expensive to treat.

One way that they keep costs low: They pay doctors very little relative to the U.S.

To keep costs down, Japan has made tradeoffs in other areas -- sometimes to the detriment of patients.

Japanese hospitals experience a "crowding out" effect, with space for emergency care and serious medical conditions sometimes overwhelmed by a flood of patients seeking routine treatment

Skilled doctors tend to leave Japanese hospitals for the higher pay and predictable hours of private clinics.

In Luxembourg, all employees and self-employed workers are required to make social security contributions, which in turns entitles them and their dependent family members to healthcare. All minor and children under the age of 30, residing in Luxembourg and not personally insured, may be co-insured with a parent who is personally registered with health insurance. Coverage includes most of the treatments provided by general practitioners or specialists, any laboratory test, prescriptions and hospitalisation. When you start working in Luxembourg, your employer (or potentially you if you are self-employed) will declare your employment to the Joint Centre of Social Security (Centre Commun de la Sécurité Sociale or CCSS). The CCSS will send you a declaration of entry confirming your affiliation to the Luxembourg social security (for more information, visit www.ccss.lu). Once registered, you will receive a social security card bearing your national social security number. This card must be presented to healthcare providers.

If you want to reside in Luxembourg and are retired, you need to show evidence of health insurance in order to acquire resident’s permit. If you are eligible for non-resident tax status, you may not be required to make healthcare contributions and are likely to be covered by your employer’s healthcare insurance scheme.

Payment in advance or third-party payment system?

The healthcare system in Luxembourg works on the basis of reimbursement, which varies from 80 to 100%. You pay the medical fees upfront and then submit the reimbursement claims to the CNS (for more information, visit www.cns.lu).  In this case, you have to send the original doctor’s invoice or other medical fees paid upfront, duly settled, to the CNS. Good to know: if you send your letter to the CNS from within Luxembourg, you don’t need to put a postage stamp on the envelope. The process will take about three weeks before receiving a reimbursement put directly into your bank account, along with a notification by post.

For certain types of healthcare, the costs are settled directly between the CNS and the provider/supplier. These include pharmaceutical costs, hospital costs, physiotherapist costs, laboratory costs, etc. In this case, you only pay the portion of the costs not covered by health insurance. Medications under medical prescription are usually covered by the CNS through the third-party payment system. They are organized in three categories: 40%, 80% and 100%. Pay attention to the fact that you will be charged full price for non-prescription medicines if you purchase them directly from the pharmacy. Hospital costs are directly paid for by health insurance, except for doctors’ fees.

The days when healthcare in South Korea was more M*A*S*H than modern are long gone. Today, South Korea offers world-class healthcare to both its own citizens and visitors alike.

The South Korean healthcare system is run by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and is free to all citizens at the point of delivery. The system is funded by a compulsory National Health Insurance Scheme that covers 97% of the population. Foreign nationals living in South Korea enjoy the same access to universal healthcare as the local people.

South Korean healthcare offers the choice of occidental (Western) medicine, or traditional oriental treatments, many of which have been extensively researched and developed alongside their modern counterparts. The country leads the world in the treatment of skin diseases, both in techniques and technology.

South Korean hospitals are very well equipped, with a good doctor to patient ratio, and the so-called Big Four – Seoul National University Hospital, the Samsung Medical Centre, Asan medical Centre and Yonsei Severance Hospital – boast some of the best facilities in the region, if not the world.

In some ways, South Korea’s rapid growth and commercialisation creates its own health problems, with environmental pollution in the larger cities a real issue. Many older Koreans also harbour chronic diseases from the days before the country really took off. Like many western nations, South Korea’s healthcare system is focussed on treatment rather than prevention, so this is likely to remain an issue for many years until the modern healthcare facilities begin to show their long term effect.
