So why not just pay out-of-pocket?
REMEMBER?
Health services (and supplies) can be expensive (relative or absolute terms)
Services needs to be paid, or else these will be under-provided
Catastrophic health expenditures can lead to (further) financial ruin (& even worse health)

Pooling Options
Characteristics
raised from general taxes/duties; may be done at different government levels (e.g., local taxes)
requires administrative capacity
may be vertically redistributive (e.g., subsidized health expenses for the poor)
Advantages •potential to generate most resources
Disadvantages
• sensitive to economic downturns
•horizontal equity often difficult (e.g., which sector assumes more tax burden vs. benefits)
• taxes diminish wages/production
•undermined by bad governance and widespread tax evasion

Insurance Concerns
While health insurance makes medical care more accessible, true costs are hidden from patients (& providers) and thus makes medical care “too affordable”
Mechanisms to limit utilization:For patients: gatekeeper,
copayments
For providers: clinical pathways/CPGs, utilization reviews, capitation

TAKE HOME MESSAGES:
Adequate financing is necessary not only to remedy poor health, but also to safeguard against (further) impoverishment
Efficient pooling mechanisms are necessary to ensure the accessibility of essential health services especially for the poor, as well as to prevent financial ruin
Adequate financing is necessary for the provision of health services, but this alone is not sufficient for ensuring the adequacy and efficiency of provision
Health is not a stand alone concern
