It is mostly a pay as you receive system, supported in part by private insurance and the Medicare program. It does not meet the current needs and because it is not a US State, the Medicare program in Puerto Rico receives less dollars per capita then US States. Local charaties and the Territorial government do have programs in effect to help out during the crisis, but there is never enough.
