Options for expanding coverage to 100 percent of the population are compared. The issue of how to deepen coverage, so that insurance reduces out-of-pocket spending by more than it does at present, is also discussed, as is the issue of how to put downward pressure on the cost of health care. The book also looks at the issues of how to improve the quality of care, both overall and at the hospital level, and how to reform provider payment methods. It also looks at the issue of stewardship, what different parts of government (the health ministry, the health insurer, and so on) should be doing at each level of government, and what different levels of government (the central government, provincial government, and so forth) ought to be doing.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCOUNTINGADDITIONAL INCOMEADDITIONAL PAYMENTSADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADVERSE SELECTIONAPPLICABLE LAWBEDSBENEFICIARYBEST PRACTICEBORROWINGCALCULATIONSCAPITA HEALTH SPENDINGCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITAL SPENDINGCAPITATIONCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASECATASTROPHIC HEALTH SPENDINGCLINICAL GUIDELINESCLINICAL PATHWAYSCLINICSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCONSUMERCONSUMERSCONTRIBUTIONCONTRIBUTION RATECONTRIBUTIONSCOST ANALYSISCOST CONTROLCOST INCREASESCOST OF CARECOST OF HEALTH CARECOST REDUCTIONSCURRENCYCURRENT PRICESDEATHSDECISION MAKINGDELIVERY OF HEALTH CAREDELIVERY SYSTEMDELIVERY SYSTEMSDIABETESDIAGNOSISDIAGNOSTIC TESTSDISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIESDRUGSEARNINGSEMPLOYMENTEXCHANGE RATESFAMILIESFEE REVENUESFEE SCHEDULEFEE-FOR-SERVICEFEE-FOR-SERVICE PAYMENTSFINANCIAL AFFAIRSFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL CONSEQUENCESFINANCIAL CONTROLFINANCIAL DATAFINANCIAL INCENTIVEFINANCIAL PROBLEMSFINANCIAL PROTECTIONFINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITYFISCAL DEFICITFORECASTSFREE CAREFUND MANAGEMENTHEALTH AFFAIRSHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE COSTSHEALTH CARE FINANCINGHEALTH CARE PROVIDERSHEALTH CARE REFORMHEALTH CARE SYSTEMHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH DELIVERYHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INEQUALITIESHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMHEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMHEALTH INSURANCE SCHEMEHEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEMHEALTH INSURERHEALTH NEEDSHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICIESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH REFORMHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SPENDINGHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM REFORMHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH WORKERSHIV/AIDSHOSPITAL ADMINISTRATIONHOSPITAL COSTHOSPITAL MANAGEMENTHOSPITAL REVENUESHOSPITAL SECTORHOSPITALSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLNESSINCENTIVES FOR PROVIDERSINCOMEINCOME COUNTRIESINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GROUPSINCOME GROWTHINCOME TAXINCOMESINDUCED DEMANDINFANT MORTALITYINFLATIONINFORMAL PAYMENTSINFORMAL SECTORINFORMAL SECTOR WORKERSINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINPATIENT ADMISSIONINPATIENT CAREINSURANCE COVERAGEINSURANCE PREMIUMINTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONSINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINVESTMENT DECISIONSLAWSLITERACYLIVING STANDARDSLOST INCOMELOW-INCOMEMANDATORY CONTRIBUTIONSMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL POLICYMEDICAL STAFFMEDICAL SUPPLIESMEDICINESMORAL HAZARDMORTALITYNATIONAL HEALTHNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCENUTRITIONPATIENTPATIENTSPENSIONSPHYSICIANSPOCKET PAYMENTPOCKET PAYMENTSPOCKET PAYMENTS FOR HEALTH CAREPRICE ELASTICITYPRIMARY CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIVATE CLINICSPRIVATE HOSPITAL SECTORPRIVATE INSURANCEPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPRIVATE SPENDINGPROBABILITYPROPERTY TAXPROVIDER PAYMENTPROVISION OF INFORMATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HOSPITALSPUBLIC INSURANCEPUBLIC INSURANCE SYSTEMPUBLIC PROVIDERSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY CONTROLQUALITY OF CARERAPID GROWTHREFERRALSRESPONSIBILITIESSALARIESSALESALESSENIORSHARE OF HEALTH SPENDINGSOCIAL HEALTH INSURANCESOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIALIZATIONTUBERCULOSISUNDER-FIVE MORTALITYVALUABLEVISITSVOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONSWAGESWEB SITEWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7782-6
