It is private/public hybrid system where most people get their health insurance through their employers (private), the elderly (over 65 years old) and those with disabilities receive Medicare (public) and low - income populations can qualify for Medicaid (public). There are millions of people who do not have any type of health insurance. Having health insurance determines your access to the health care services.
