This paper uses annual data for Taiwan from 1970 to 2003 to examine the factors affecting medical expenses. The results are as follows: (1) after the implementation of the National Health Insurance system, the average per capita health care spending increased significantly, by about 16%. (2) The income elasticity of health care spending is greater than 1, which means that it is a luxury good. This is in contrast with the findings of other Taiwanese studies, but supports the results in the foreign literature.

The collection and pooling functions in the Hungarian health insurance scheme are separate, but there is no complicated mechanism to distribute resources from the collecting agency (the Tax Office) to the main pooling agency (the NHIFA), which is also the sole payer in the system. The NHIFA does not have much discretion over active contracting, however, because purchasing is based on a contract model and the terms of contracts are determined by the National Assembly.

The American health care system is challenged on many fronts. Every day, there are reports of medical errors and patient safety concerns. The nation struggles to provide care for the 15% of the population without health insurance. Costs continue to grow two to three times faster than the cost of living. Consumers leave their costly and risky encounters with less and less satisfaction that they have received the value they feel they deserve and desire.

Yet the shift towards health-systems strengthening and its support through the International Health Partnership (IHP+) and other related initiatives offer a framework within which SRH may be more broadly addressed. The support offered to ministries of health by the UNFPA and WHO country offices has been marked by greater collaboration and a stronger functional focus. This has been achieved through harmonization of activities in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework, and by practical engagement of technical working groups and similar structures for SRH.

On the other hand, PHI does not play as significant a role as might be expected in some other countries without universal public coverage or where there are significant out-of-pocket payments. For example, while the Korean National Health Insurance system pays 44% of total health cost, a significant degree of out-of-pocket expenditure remains (41%).

The ownership of insurers and the scope of their activities may also pose market challenges. While competition is arguably limited by the presence of few players, such as in the Irish insurance system, the existence of several players is not the only measure of market competitiveness. Mobility across insurers is low in many OECD countries. It is also sometimes challenging to establish incentives for “healthy” and equitable competition among PHI insurers, as they face incentives to concentrate on good risks, thereby failing to cover more vulnerable individuals.

The members of America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) are committed to working with policymakers, health care providers, and consumers to contribute to our common fundamental interests in promoting a vibrant health care system and a vital economy. For the nation, and in the states, lack of health insurance is a major economic drain, one that costs $50 billion annually. We believe that access to health insurance coverage should be our number one domestic priority. In late 2006, we released a blueprint for achieving that goal.

When surveyed, Americans consistently support guaranteeing health insurance for more people. Options for reforming the current health insurance system and decreasing the number of uninsured continue to be debated. Most proposals recognize that in order to make health insurance affordable for the majority of the uninsured, premiums will need to be subsidized for the lowest income groups. However, rising health care costs and fiscal constraints to expanding public coverage, pose a significant challenge for reform.

The need to train those who will be responsible for the O&M is an important institutional issue. Sometimes those responsible may be in the community, sometimes they may be a private contractor, or sometimes they may be in the ministry. User training is needed, par- ticularly in water supply and sanitation. Sanitation education has not always been provided and is very important. If the operator is going to be the sectoral agency, sometimes basic budgetary reforms need to be addressed.
