Les justifications de l’intervention publique dans les systèmes de santé
Abstracts
The share of the public sector in health care system varies enormously from country to country. In this paper, we examine the justifications of public intervention both in insurance provision and in health care supply. This allows us to explain the variability of systems by considering health insurance as a means of redistribution.
