Estimating Age-adjusted Health Spending 330 3 $aDespite the increasing interest in universal health care, little is known about the optimal way to finance, design, and implement it. This paper attempts to fill this gap by providing some general policy recommendations on this important issue. While most of the paper addresses the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) countries, its policy implications are applicable to any country. The paper finds that the best financing option is country-specific depending on a country?s economic, cultural, institutional, demographic and epidemiological characteristics, as well as political economy considerations. However, taxation should be the primary financing source. It also concludes that an appropriate and realistic benefit package would need to be designed to ensure the system?s financial viability. Regarding the optimal way to implement universal health care, certain preconditions are needed, including sound public administration, a small informal economy, and a transparent health financing system that builds social consensus. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/061 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aMedical care, Cost of 606 $aAging$2imf 606 $aAnalysis of Health Care Markets$2imf 606 $aDemography$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Elderly$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Handicapped$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aHealth care spending$2imf 606 $aHealth care$2imf 606 $aHealth economics$2imf 606 $aHealth Policy$2imf 606 $aHealth systems & services$2imf 606 $aHealth$2imf 606 $aHealth: General$2imf 606 $aHealth: Government Policy$2imf 606 $aMedical care$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Health$2imf 606 $aNon-labor Market Discrimination$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aPopulation & demography$2imf 606 $aPopulation aging$2imf 606 $aPopulation and demographics$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aPublic Health$2imf 606 $aRegulation$2imf 606 $aSocial security contributions$2imf 606 $aSocial security$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTaxes$2imf 606 $aWelfare & benefit systems$2imf 607 $aTaiwan Province of China$2imf 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 0$aMedical care, Cost of. 615 7$aAging 615 7$aAnalysis of Health Care Markets 615 7$aDemography 615 7$aEconomics of the Elderly 615 7$aEconomics of the Handicapped 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aHealth care spending 615 7$aHealth care 615 7$aHealth economics 615 7$aHealth Policy 615 7$aHealth systems & services 615 7$aHealth 615 7$aHealth: General 615 7$aHealth: Government Policy 615 7$aMedical care 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Health 615 7$aNon-labor Market Discrimination 615 7$aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aPopulation & demography 615 7$aPopulation aging 615 7$aPopulation and demographics 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aPublic Health 615 7$aRegulation 615 7$aSocial security contributions 615 7$aSocial security 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTaxes 615 7$aWelfare & benefit systems 676 $a332.1 700 $aTsounta$b Evridiki$01815939 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969850903321 996 $aUniversal Health Care 101$94372552 997 $aUNINA
