The Assurance

By constitutional mandate and in accordance with Universal Law Health Insurance of 1961, the CCSS must provide health insurance and maternity benefits to all people, but since this is only compulsory for wage earners, from 1975, other forms developed to facilitate the incorporation of other segments Population: - Voluntary insurance for self-employed persons created in 1975;
- The CCSS pensioners and special arrangements were incorporated in 1976;
- Insurance from the State to include the poorest families in 1984;
- Special Agreements collectively to ensure the combined independent workers union organizations in the mid-80's
Despite this, the 2000 population census revealed that only 81.8% of the population is insured, so that 18.2% of the population lacks formal health insurance. Although the uninsured can use public health services, in practice, this involves overcoming barriers of administrative and economic limits their access to these services.

In the other types of insurance contribution rates are much lower than 15% as employees and their employers are heavily subsidizing the other categories, which is consistent with the principle of solidarity, in all cases the insurance extends to the basic family unit.
