Success in improving access and financial protection through community and private voluntary health insurance have led many countries to attempt to make membership compulsory and to offer subsidized insurance through the public sector. The protagonists are divided into several camps; from supporters of health insurance to opponents or skeptics. Today many low- and middle-income countries are no longer listening to this dichotomized debate between vertical and horizontal approaches to health care. Instead, they are experimenting with new and innovative approaches to health care financing. Health insurance is becoming a new paradigm for reaching the Millennium Development Goals. The research for this volume shows that when properly designed and coupled with public subsidies, health insurance can contribute to the well-being of poor and middle-class households, not just the rich. And it can contribute to development goals such as improved access to health care, better financial protection against the cost of illness, and reduced social exclusion. The book is organized into three main parts. Major policy directions in financing health care are discussed in Part 1, with a particular focus on the pre-conditions for scaling up. Part 2 moves from theory to practice with overviews and country level studies on health insurance development. Finally, part 3 highlights the implementation challenges. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aHealth insurance$zDeveloping countries 606 $aHealth services accessibility$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aHealth insurance 615 0$aHealth services accessibility$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a368.38/2 701 $aPreker$b Alexander S.$f1951-$01599689 712 02$aWorld Bank, 801 0$bDNLM/DLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824590803321 996 $aScaling up affordable health insurance$93938982 997 $aUNINA
