CONCLUSION""; ""References""The study examines the effect of health care reform in Bulgaria in 1999 on the equity of health care financing. It explores the distribution of different types of health care financing by income. Furthermore, it separates the financial and social reasons for these differences, dividing them into economic and social inequalities. It suggests a method of distinguishing between financially based and "exclusion based" reasons for having progressive/regressive health care financing. Moreover, it looks at the social factors that shape health expenditure patterns and identifies those social characteristics that lead to exclusion from the health care system.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/285Health insuranceBulgariaEconometric modelsHealth care reformBulgariaEconometric modelsMedical policyBulgariaEconometric modelsAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfAnalysis of Health Care MarketsimfExpenditures, PublicimfHealth care spendingimfHealth careimfHealth PolicyimfHealth systems & servicesimfIncome distributionimfIncome inequalityimfIncomeimfMacroeconomicsimfMedical careimfNational Government Expenditures and HealthimfPersonal incomeimfPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfBulgariaimfHealth insuranceEconometric models.Health care reformEconometric models.Medical policyEconometric models.Aggregate Factor Income DistributionAnalysis of Health Care MarketsExpenditures, PublicHealth care spendingHealth careHealth PolicyHealth systems & servicesIncome distributionIncome inequalityIncomeMacroeconomicsMedical careNational Government Expenditures and HealthPersonal incomePersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceMarkova Nora1815813IMF Institute.DcWaIMFBOOK9910955020403321How Does the Introduction of Health Insurance Change the Equity of Health Care Provision in Bulgaria4371340UNINA
