This study by Professor Dov Chernichovsky looks at the changes in the mix of public and private funding of health care in Israel over the last decade. The uniqueness of the study lies in its examination of the consequences of increased private funding, how catastrophic spending is pushing some families into poverty, and the contribution of increased private funding of health care to inflation.
