The recently resolved labor dispute between Israeli physicians and the state cast a shadow on the Israeli healthcare system’s achievements of the past two years: the dental care reform, the reduced copayment burden, and other easing of the financial burden, e.g., the elimination of the Tipat Halav fee. Manpower increases were recently authorized for the system, and access to healthcare in Israel’s periphery is expanding. Some of these measures represent promises to the public which, hopefully, the government will be able to keep. These changes do not, however, have the power to bring about structural change in terms of financing, organizing or managing the system.

Unfortunately, the implementation will not bring the desired change primarily because it does not into consideration the representation of the sick funds in the periphery, their ability to compete, and their ability to move resources from the Center to the periphery while expanding their services.

The study recommends a process for including dental health care in National Health Insurance, with the required budgetary back-up that will be required. This process is likely to bring real relief in the medium and long-range in terms of an improvement in dental health in Israel and a savings in national expenditure for dental health.

They recommend widening the basket of services for dental care to other population groups (such as the elderly) through a relatively modest budget increase.
