Insurance Coverage Expansion
Earlier this week, Simiao Chen of Heidelberg University wrote a guest
essay for the Health Affairs Today
newsletter discussing the benefits of expanded health insurance
coverage.
Chen was lead author of a recent Health Affairs paper, "Health Insurance
Coverage In Low- And Middle-Income Countries Remains Far From The Goal
Of Universal Coverage
."
Using household surveys, the authors found that only one in five people
across fifty-six low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) had health
insurance.
Inadequate coverage is associated with low access to care, heightened
risk of poor health outcomes including premature mortality, and
potential for catastrophic health expenditures.
Chen suggests that improved health insurance coverage in LMICs is
therefore urgently needed, and spending more on insurance coverage will
enable countries to achieve universal health coverage, promote
socioeconomic development, and maximize the welfare of their
populations.
