The first system of socialized medicine based on compulsory insurance with state subsidy was created by Otto von Bismarck after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870!. Socialized health care was implemented by the Soviet Union in the 1920s!. New Zealand was the first country with a mixed economy to provide the direct provision of health care by the state when, in 1939, it provided mental health services free of cost to the recipient following the passing of the Social Security Act of 1938!.

A socialized model was used in China in from the 1950s to the 1970s during the first two decades of communist rule!.
