| Scope | The demand for health care will surely continue to increase in the future. How to finance the cost of that care will remain on the policy agenda. In the public domain, expenditures on health services will always compete with other uses of tax funds, such as defence and education; the debate about the magnitude of the government involvement in health care is here to stay. In the private sector, payment for health services not covered by government - in the form of insurance premiums and direct payment - competes with other consumption spending and saving. The problem of how to finance health care in either sector must be addressed, with general tax financing, social insurance, and private financing as alternatives. (source) | |
