Abstract: This study assesses progressivity in public and private health care revenue collection among 29 high-income countries by combining the results of two previous articles comprising this special section of Health Policy. In those studies, we developed qualitatively based scores regarding revenue collection policies for three public revenue sources (income taxes, social insurance contributions, consumption taxes) and two private revenue sources (voluntary health insurance, out-of-pocket payments).
