Objective: To describe universal coverage in Cuba from the perspective of working fields of health economics. Methods: A bibliographical review based on the application of BIC6 model was performed as well as a brainstorm. Findings: Working fields in health economics are a valuable perspective for the analysis of the universal coverage in Cuba. Planning is emphasized as a basic category in a socialist economy. Conclusions: Treatment of health coverage from the perspective of working fields of health economics provides a novel analysis at the same time that it contributes to the best benefit of tools provided by this scientific discipline.
