Mixed logit models incorporate a total of 1,700 health plan choices with more than 50 choice sets for each individual. The findings suggest that, compared to prices, health plan service quality and supplemental benefits play a minor role in making a health plan choice.","PeriodicalId":237817,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Insurance (Topic)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124120858","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}

Normand, Samantha Smith","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.993750","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.993750","url":null,"abstract":"The Irish health care system is unusual in that there is no subsidy for access to GP services for the majority of the population. Further a high proportion of the population has subsidised and supplementary private medical insurance. Current financial incentives and flows of subsidisation between the public and private sectors produce some odd features. Careful analysis of these financing mechanisms shows extensive inequities, with those on low incomes, but above the tax threshold, being the worst off. Further, the inequities and inefficiencies have been perpetuated by a lack of transparency in the health financing system. The authors explore the case for change and the options for Social Health Insurance (SHI) design that would be most relevant for the Irish health care system. Four possible scenarios for SHI are set out to improve equity and efficiency. The models vary according to the improved access that they give their members in terms of Primary Health Care, private/semi-private hospital beds and access to consultants. At one extreme, the levelling up (Rolls Royce) option provides hospital care on a par with what is currently available through private insurance and free GP access. At the other, the 'Mini' option reduces the cost of access to GPs and lowers public sector hospital charges for the uncovered population. Drawing on data from public accounts and the private insurance industry, the authors review the resource implications of these scenarios, with and without efficiency gains. Costs range from 2.2 billion to 380 million (or from an additional 1.5% to 0.3% of GDP). The authors also analyse the potential financing mechanisms. The additional payments for the options would range from 6.0% of taxable income for the Rolls Royce option to only 2.5% for the priority PHC option and 1.1% for the Mini. With efficiency gains these rates would reduce so that the Mini option pays for itself. Finally the authors explore the issues of transition and implementation, noting the institutional, stakeholder and capacity bottlenecks which currently exist.","PeriodicalId":237817,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Insurance (Topic)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130006154","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}

We also explore whether local labor market characteristics such as the unemployment rate influence RHI provision. Finally, we examine whether the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) was associated with diverging trends in RHI access for Medicare-eligible and early retirees. Data come for the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey—Insurance Component (MEPS-IC). We find that, while RHI provision to existing retirees remained stable, eligibility for new retirees declined, and contribution requirements increased between 2000 and 2004. The local labor market had no effect on RHI provision. While early retiree coverage was more common than coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees, we did not find a divergence subsequent to MMA. These results suggest growing financial instability for retirees, both because RHI contribution requirements increased, and because businesses dropped coverage for new retirees.","PeriodicalId":237817,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Insurance (Topic)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115354680","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}
