Health Insurance: Drawing inspiration from chit funds to pool health risks efficiently
Abstract:
The provision of government-funded public health services in India is grossly inadequate and 48.2% of “total health expenditure” for India is paid “out of pocket” [1]. When the total health expenditure in a household exceeds 10% of the annual income, it is considered catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) [2].
