I heard about that too. The basic level of health insurance is more or less universal, and government operated. There is a monthly payment for the coverage, and the premium is based on the number and age of the people covered.
All coverage is the same.
Also, since it is a unified system, the customer doesn't need to deal with any insurance claim forms or other paperwork. The doctor bills the insurance system directly. Everything else was covered by the insurance. Also, my daughter was born in a large hospital here. For routine things like this, the system is wonderful.
