Health Insurance Interventions $68.98 Countries all over the world have always been concerned with developing their health care financing systems, so as to ensure access to health care for their citizens. They have sought to develop systems that would provide adequate financial resources and to be affordable to all those sharing in the costs, through mechanisms that will not entail financial barriers to seeking care, particularly at the time of illness. In theory, social health insurance has the most potential to achieve health policy objectives, in practice it has been difficult to achieve in low-income countries because, implementing Social Health Insurance in economically, socially, and culturally diverse environments, produces unexpected challenges. Linkages between overcoming the challenges of implementing social health insurance in low-income countries and the success of the scheme vary from institutional, legal and technical point of view. Designing and implementing social health insurance in Sierra Leone is constraint by lack of human capacity and sufficient financial resources among others. |

Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir $3.98 Growing up in middle-class middle America, Sonya Huber viewed health care as did most of her peers: as an inconvenience or not at all. There were braces and cavities, medications and stitches, the family doctor and the local dentist. Finding herself without health insurance after college graduation, she didn’t worry. It was a temporary problem. Thirteen years and twenty-three jobs later, her view of the matter was quite different. Huber’s irreverent and affecting memoir of navigating the nation’s health-care system brings an awful and necessary dose of reality to the political debates and propaganda surrounding health-care reform. "I look like any other upwardly mobile hipster," Huber says. "I carry a messenger bag, a few master’s degrees, and a toddler raised on organic milk." What’s not evident, however, is that she is a veteran of Medicaid and WIC, the federal government’s supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children. In "Cover Me," Huber tells a story that is at once all too familiar and rarely told: of being pushed to the edge by worry; of the adamant belief that better care was out there; of taking one mind-numbing job after another in pursuit of health insurance, only to find herself scrounging through the trash heap of our nation’s health-care system for tips and tricks that might mean the difference between life and death. |

The Impact of Health Insurance in Low- And Middle-Income Countries $24.48 Over the past twenty years, many low- and middle- income countries have experimented with health insurance options. While their plans have varied widely in scale and ambition, their goals are the same: to make health services more affordable through the use of public subsidies while also moving care providers partially or fully into competitive markets. Until now, however, we have known little about the actual effects of these policy changes. Understanding the impact of health insurance-based care is key to the public policy debate of whether to extend insurance to low-income populations and if so, how to do it or to serve them through other means. Using recent household data, this new book assesses the impact of insurance programs in China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ghana, Indonesia, Namibia, and Peru. These nations are betting that insurance-based health care financing can increase the accessibility of services, improve providers’ productivity, and change the population’s health care use patterns, mirroring the development of health systems in most OECD countries. The contributors also discuss potential design improvements that could increase impact. They provide insights on how to evaluate health insurance reforms using existing data and contribute to a robust knowledge base to guide policy as other countries tackle the health insurance challenge. |

Wages of Sickness: The Politics of Health Insurance in Progressive America $3.98 The Clinton administration’s failed health care reform was not the first attempt to establish government-sponsored medical coverage in the United States. From 1915 to 1920, Progressive reformers led a spirited but ultimately unsuccessful crusade for compulsory health insurance in New York State. Beatrix Hoffman argues that this first health insurance campaign was a crucial moment in the creation of the American welfare state and health care system. Its defeat, she says, gave rise to an uneven and inegalitarian system of medical coverage and helped shape the limits of American social policy for the rest of the century. Hoffman examines each of the major combatants in the battle over compulsory health insurance. While physicians, employers, the insurance industry, and conservative politicians forged a uniquely powerful coalition in opposition to health insurance proposals, she shows, reformers’ potential allies within women’s organizations and the labor movement were bitterly divided. Against the backdrop of World War I and the Red Scare, opponents of reform denounced government-sponsored health insurance as "un-American" and, in the process, helped fashion a political culture that resists proposals for universal health care and a comprehensive welfare state even today. |

Using Taxes to Reform Health Insurance: Pitfalls and Promises $4.48 Few people realize that one of the nation’s largest health programs runs through the tax system. Reformers of all stripes propose to modify current tax rules as part of larger programs to increase coverage and control costs. Is the current system working? Will tax-based reforms achieve their goals? Several of the nation’s foremost experts on taxation and health policy address these questions in Using Taxes to Reform Health Insurance, a joint product of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center and the American Tax Policy Institute. Led by respected economists Henry Aaron of the Brookings Institution and Leonard Burman of the Urban Institute, contributors examine the role taxes currently play, the likely effects of recently introduced health savings accounts, the challenges of administering major subsidies for health insurance through the tax system, and options for using the tax system to expand health insurance coverage.

Governing Mandatory Health Insurance: Learning from Experience $33.48 Although mandatory health insurance programs are being proposed or expanded in many developing countries, relatively little attention has been given to how these programs are governed. The available literature focuses almost exclusively on operational features that are important but will necessarily change over time–such as eligibility, benefit packages, and premiums. ‘Governing Mandatory Health Insurance’ instead looks at the institutional and political forces that affect the behavior of such programs within their social and historical contexts and how five dimensions of governance–coherent decision-making structures, stakeholder participation, transparency and information, supervision and regulation, and consistency and stability–can influence the long-term performance of health insurance programs in terms of coverage, financial protection, efficiency, and sustainability.’Governing Mandatory Health Insurance’ addresses these issues by drawing on the experiences of four countries–Chile, Costa Rica, Estonia, and the Netherlands. It shows how governance works in these countries and extracts lessons for developing countries with mandatory health insurance programs, focusing on the mechanisms for assuring solvency, financial protection, and health care services of good quality. |
