-'''Healthcare in Cartadania''' and the Cartadanian health care system is, by law, one of universal health care largely financed by government national health insurance, although, healthcare is provided to all citizens and residents by a mixed public-private system. During a world health care systems assessment, multiple organizations found that Cartadania provided one of the best overall health care systems in the world, where the system was ranked second worldwide by the World Health Organization in 2027. In 2024, Cartadania spent 7.2% of its GDP on health care, or $5,210 per capita, a figure much higher than the average spent by countries in cultural proximity to it. Approximately 75% of health expenditures are covered by government funded agencies, and care for people affected by chronic diseases such as cancer, AIDS or cystic fibrosis is always free.
+'''Healthcare in Cartadania''' and the Cartadanian health care system is, by law, one of universal health care. Funded through a combination of robust government national health insurance and a mixed public-private framework, Cartadania's healthcare system is designed to provide universal coverage. It ranks among the world's best healthcare systems, typicall placing around second place on the World Health Organization's global assessments, just after [[Burgundie]]. Financially, the federal government allocates 6.71% of its GDP to healthcare and human services, with an annual budget surpassing $1.9 trillion, accounting for approximately 21% of the federal budget. This significant investment ensures that nearly 75% of healthcare expenditures are covered by government-funded agencies. Healthcare in Cartadania extends to all, including those grappling with chronic conditions, such as cancer, AIDS, or cystic fibrosis, who receive their care free of charge. Strong dedication to healthcare, reflected in high life expectancies and a low stillbirth rate, places Cartadania among the world's leaders in healthcare provision and outcomes.
-Most general physicians are in private practice but draw their income from the public insurance funds. These funds have never gained self-management responsibility. Instead, the government has taken responsibility for the financial and operational management of health insurance (by setting premium levels related to income and determining the prices of goods and services refunded). There are public hospitals, non-profit independent hospitals (which are linked to the public system), as well as private for-profit hospitals.
+On average, life expectancy at birth reaches a lengthy 81.87 years for men and 86.51 years for women, ranking among the highest worldwide. However, this remarkable longevity is paired with a consistently low fertility rate, standing at 1.71 children per woman in 2030, remaining below the replacement rate of 2.1 since 1973. In this context, women in Cartadania tend to embrace motherhood at a later age, with the mean age at first live birth recorded as 28.2 in 2030. Moreover, Cartadania's healthcare system excels in maternal care, as evidenced by its lowest stillbirth rate among occidental countries, a testament to its dedication to safeguarding the health of both mothers and infants.
-Average life expectancy at birth is 81.87 years for men and 86.51 years for women, one of the highest of the World. The fertility rate in 2024 stood at 1.71 children born/per woman and has been below the replacement rate of 2.1 since 1973. With a low birth rate, women also become mothers at a later age, the mean age at first live birth being 28.2 in 2024. A study published in a [[Merced University|Merced]] medical journal found that Cartadania also had the lowest stillbirth rate out of the occidental countries.
+General physicians, primarily in private practice, derive their income from public insurance funds. Notably, these insurance funds are under government oversight, responsible for managing financial and operational aspects, including setting income-based premium levels and determining reimbursement rates for healthcare services. Within this framework, Cartadania boasts a diverse healthcare infrastructure comprising public hospitals, non-profit independent hospitals with affiliations to the public system, and privately-run for-profit hospitals, all working in tandem to ensure comprehensive healthcare coverage.
