The changing role of the health insurer
Health insurance is pivotal to healthcare financing. In most parts of the world, governments are looking to enlarge, or at least to encourage, the contribution of private sources of funding to the delivery of healthcare. If these efforts are to succeed in the mass market, the role of the health insurers must increase.
With this in mind, a new PricewaterhouseCoopers report has been developed examining the existing health insurance systems in various parts of the world. The report discusses their similarities and differences and the lessons that might be drawn from them. With working tax-paying populations globally losing faith in the ability of governments to provide adequate healthcare for them when they most need it – in old age – changes are expected and the choices available to policymakers appear to be wide.
