Tóm tắt :

This review is part of a series of country-based studies generating new evidence on financial protection – affordable access to health care – in health systems in Europe. Financial protection is central to universal health coverage and a core dimension of health system performance. Catastrophic health spending is lower in Israel than in many European Union countries but higher than in countries with similar or heavier reliance on out-of-pocket payments. It is heavily concentrated in households with low incomes and mainly driven by out-of-pocket payments for outpatient medicines and dental care. This is likely to reflect limited coverage of dental care and weaknesses in the design of user charges (co-payments) for other types of health care. Although take-up of voluntary health insurance (VHI) is high, VHI does not address these gaps in coverage; it also presents significant challenges for equity and efficiency. Efforts to improve financial protection should focus on redesigning coverage policy to make it more protective for people with lower incomes; supporting these changes to coverage policy by sustaining and further increasing public spending on health, so that it is in line with Israel’s level of economic development; and finding ways to curb the growth of VHI. xiv, 68 p.
