The Health Services Administration, also referred to as the HSA, is a government health insurance agency in the Empire Of Makko Oko under the directive and control of the Ministry Of Health & Wellness. Its mission is to provide and administrate the universal healthcare program of the nation mandated by the Life Security Act.
History
Organization
MakCare
MakCare is Makko Oko's government universal healthcare program launched in July of 2022 on the same day as the founding of the Health Services Administration. MakCare is offered and provided to all citizens of any age within the nation, and under the Life Security Act, all citizens must have a MakCare plan of their choosing or face potential prosecution.
The idea for MakCare was created by Emperor Conall Solis who believed in the idea of universal healthcare for all, and in addition, the welfare budget sat unused and for a time didn't even exist. Given the high taxes and large reserves, the Emperor enacted the Life Security Act on July 5th, 2022, which officially established both the agency and MakCare. Since the law's enactment, private health insurance of any kind has been prohibited, excluding international insurance. MakCare doesn't cover every aspect of medical, which has led to calls from citizens for a revision to the law.
Multiple plans of MakCare are offered to citizens, the most basic and cheap of which, the Limited Services Plan, not expressly providing dental and vision services for $2,400 SLO's a year. The most expensive of the plans, the Premium Services Plan, offers 3 free medical tests a year and only a $500 deductible.
Phoenix Islands Care
The Phoenix Islands is an independently governing nation under the Empire Of Makko Oko, and through a decision of the Ministry Of Justice's Office Of SAG Legal Affairs, MakCare was essentially non-applicable to them. On November 26th, 2022, SAGPI Chief Marcella Debose enacted the Phoenix Healthcare Act to bring into effect and authority, the MakCare health insurance system. There aren't many differences between the main MakCare and the SAGPI MakCare, other than who has administrative jurisdiction.
Within the Phoenix Islands, the Ministry Of Welfare assumed control over territorial MakCare operations due to the Phoenix Healthcare Act. While the ministry can independently manage their program to be unique to that of the mainland, they choose to keep it the same for operational reliability.
GovCare
GovCare is the government employee health insurance program of the Health Services Administration that was launched the same day as MakCare. GovCare is uniquely separate from MakCare, but is considered to be a portion of its operations. GovCare offers unique benefits separate to that of MakCare, and an entirely free health insurance plan named the Veteran Services Plan is available to former government employees.
GovCare is available only on the mainland, and it cannot be obtained in the Phoenix Islands, nor do SAGPI government employees qualify for it. Only national government employees can take advantage of the insurance.
