The crux of the Swiss health sector is a system of federally established universal health insurance coverage with atypical characteristics lying somewhere between private and social insurance (OECD 2006; Leu et al., 2007). Swiss statutory health insurance is run by competing private institutions called sickness funds. It is strongly reliant on consumer choice and mainly financed through non-income-related premiums. Consumers (not employers or the government) buy health insurance plans, pay the bulk of health care costs through insurance premiums, co-payments and out-of-pocket payments, and choose the size of the deductible and other characteristics of the plan according to their own needs and preferences. Health insurers, whose business providing basic coverage is framed by social law, are also entitled to make profits by selling voluntary supplementary and complementary coverage governed by private law.2 From this perspective, health insurance in Switzerland conceptually belongs within the scope of private insurance.","PeriodicalId":187387,"journal":{"name":"Private Health Insurance","volume":"624 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116468388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All three have historically organized publicly financed health coverage around the labour market, with the government paying for some or all of the costs of self-employed, retired or poorer people, but Japan has a much higher share of public spending on health and a much lower share of out-of-pocket payments than the other two. All three rely heavily on the private sector to deliver health services. And in all three, private health insurance plays a supplementary role, offering subscribers daily cash benefits in case of hospitalization or lump sum payments in case of severe illness such as cancer. Although private health insurance markets in these countries are marginal in terms of spending on health, they cover relatively large shares of the population. This chapter reviews the origins and development of private health insurance in the three countries and considers why the market is not larger in terms of health spending, especially given the relatively high share of out-of-pocket payments in the Republic of Korea and Taiwan, China and the widespread use of cost sharing for publicly financed health services in all three countries.","PeriodicalId":187387,"journal":{"name":"Private Health Insurance","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128327586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
