Abstract: This paper aim to build a theory model to generalize the health care market and find the solution for the hospitalization issues in the public health care system in Vietnam. Specifically, the results indicate that increased quality improvement and reduced waiting time for patients within a hospital are able to solve if two-price tariffs are allowed to implement in the state hospitals. Additionally, by exploring the two-wave Vietnamese Household Living Standard Survey conducted in 2004 and 2006, this paper also investigates the impact of the new health insurance policy on a number of hospital visits.
