Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "全民医保" in Chinese language version.
Universal and comprehensive health insurance was debated at intervals all through the Second World War, and in 1946 such a bill was voted in Parliament. For financial and other reasons, its promulgation was delayed until 1955, at which time coverage was extended to include drugs and sickness compensation, as well.
Since 2 July 1956 the entire population of Norway has been included under the obligatory health national insurance program.
