Résumé : | This paper assesses evidence on the effects of PHI in different national contexts and draws conclusions about its strengths and weaknesses. Private health insurance presents both opportunities and risks for the attainment of health system performance goals. For example, in countries where PHI plays a prominent role, it can be credited with having injected resources into health systems, added to consumer choice, and helped make the systems more responsive. However, it has also given rise to considerable equity challenges in many cases and has added to health care expenditure (total, and in some cases, public) in most of those same countries. |
