Private health insurance is often defined as insurance that is taken up voluntarily and paid for privately, either by individuals or by employers on behalf of employees ... This definition recognizes that private health insurance may be sold by a wide range of entities, both public and private in nature. ... The reference to private payment signals a further defining characteristic: private health insurance premiums are typically linked to a person's risk of ill health or set as a flat rate, whereas pre-payment for publicly financed coverage is almost always linked to income. 1, record 1, English, - private%20health%20insurance

L'assurance-maladie privée recouvre un ensemble hétérogène de conceptions et de régimes de financement de la santé. Déjà, ce qu'on entend par assurance-maladie publique et privée diffère selon les pays. […] On a établi la distinction entre l'assurance-maladie publique et l'assurance-maladie privée en fonction de la source principale et des mécanismes de financement — l'assurance-maladie privée étant définie comme la couverture santé assurée principalement par des paiements privés non liés au revenu […] 2, record 1, French, - assurance%20maladie%20priv%C3%A9e

La proporción de la población que posee un seguro médico privado contratado varía enormemente entre países y no es fácil de comparar por la enorme variedad de tipos de cobertura y de servicios asistenciales. En los Estados de la UE [Unión Europea] en los que predomina el seguro médico privado de carácter complementario, la cobertura oscila entre un 20 y un 70 % de la población, mientras que el seguro médico de carácter suplementario cubre como media a un 10 % de la población. 1, record 1, Spanish, - seguro%20m%C3%A9dico%20privado
