For example, all Russian citizens, people with temporary and permanent residences can apply for medical insurance free of charge.
Not affected by work.
But if you have a formal job, you need to pay personal income tax, medical insurance and endowment insurance.
The quality of free medical insurance is not high, the waiting time is long, and not all inspections are free. For example, in the CT project, if there is no justifiable reason, the doctor's advice cannot enjoy free examination. Besides, many expensive tests are not free.
Daily ailments are basically free, including dentists. However, drugs are not completely free, and many of them need to be paid at their own expense. Have you paid the hospitalization fee? Including five meals. But for group wards, single rooms need to be paid at their own expense. The conditions of hospitals in big cities are better, and other provinces may reach the level of 1970s and 1980s.
Gynecology and pediatrics are better medical exemptions.
Delivery from pregnancy to delivery, postpartum to neonatal care are free, and newborns are visited by designated doctors and nurses.
However, there is a serious shortage of pediatricians, and most non-big cities are short of personnel.
Therefore, families with economic conditions will choose self-funded medical care with higher quality and shorter waiting time.
Free education is relative. For example, kindergartens still have to pay hundreds of dollars for meals and other miscellaneous expenses a month. Many kindergartens lack funds, and their conditions are far behind those of private kindergartens. The price of good private kindergartens in big cities is mostly between 8000-20000 RMB per month. Bilingual kindergartens are more expensive. The same is true of primary and secondary schools. Attaching importance to education, families with economic conditions will choose private schools.
Primary and secondary schools and universities are free. Universities have public and self-funded places. But most public places are enough. Dozens of people in top universities have reached the limit for a public quota, and the competition is not very fierce. It is correct to say that everyone has the opportunity to receive free higher education, and the opportunity is great.
Postgraduates and doctoral students can also study for free if they pass the exam and get places.
Families with many children have many benefits, such as monthly allowance from birth to three years old, kindergarten free of charge, ultra-low mortgage interest rate, one-time mother fund after the second child, one-time urban and regional subsidies, welfare housing distribution and low-rent housing. In addition, many places don't have to wait in line.
