Financing Micro Health Insurance:Theory, Methods and Evidence

Dror, David

Financing Micro Health Insurance:Theory, Methods and Evidence

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Healthcare for all at affordable prices is still a major but universally elusive goal. Everyone spends money on healthcare, and it is the most impoverishing consumption item. Thus, most governments (and the United Nations) promote Universal Health Coverage — each country's unique blend of tools for healthcare financing, including taxes, subsidies and market controls.
