abstract: 'Expanding the coverage of health-care insurance is a tool toward
|
|
|
|
achieving universal health coverage and reducing financial barriers to
|
|
|
|
care. Therefore, understanding the factors that affect the expansion of
|
|
|
|
health insurance is important for policymakers. The study aimed at
|
|
|
|
assessing the variables that affected the decisions to purchase health
|
|
|
|
insurance in Iran. We analyzed data gathered from a national survey of
|
|
|
|
health-care utilization in Iran that covered over 23,000 households. We
|
|
|
|
identified subsets of the data that represented purchasing decisions.
|
|
|
|
Increase in age, education, income, wealth, and the opportunity of
|
|
|
|
working in the governmental sector increased the probability of
|
|
|
|
purchasing BHI and CHI coverage. Past utilization of inpatient and
|
|
|
|
outpatient care increased the probability of purchasing BHI and CHI,
|
|
|
|
respectively. Evidence of adverse selection and wide socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
differences in insurance purchase decisions were observed throughout the
|
|
|
|
study. However, most significant factors were not easily influenced by
|
|
|
|
policy decisions. The findings suggest that it might be very difficult
|
|
|
|
to achieve universal insurance coverage unless nation-wide nonvoluntary
|
|
|
|
policies are implemented.'
