Although partly financed from social contributions, Russia’s health system de facto operates along the same lines. In India and Mexico, the social health insurance programmes not only cover costs but also provide health services through their own infrastructure and staff. The Mexican programme provides free access to a sizeable number of health services, the Indian programme covers hospitalisation expenses for a large number of health problems - but up to a certain amount and for a maximum of five persons per household, and not non-surgery-outpatient care, finally, the Chinese programmes cover major diseases and hospitalisation fees, but with a much lower reimbursement rate than the contributory programme.
