Japan's MyNumber Insurance system has recently reported a utilization rate of 68%. This indicates that approximately two thirds of the population are actively using their insurance cards for health and social services. The MyNumber system, a social security and tax number system introduced in 2015, covers a wide range of services including disaster relief, health insurance, and pensions. The increase in usage suggests a growing acceptance and trust in this initiative.

In Japan, public insurance systems such as the MyNumber Insurance system are highly valued and are seen as a fundamental part of social security. Its utilization and efficiency are key topics within society. The rise in usage may reflect improvements in the system's efficiency and convenience, as well as increased public awareness about its benefits.

In contrast to the US where insurance is predominantly private, Japan's mentality closer aligns with that of the EU, where socialized healthcare is more common. The MyNumber system's recent success would be equivalent to an increase in the usage of national insurance numbers or social security numbers for public services in the EU or US.
