 Economic Papers (Economic Society of Australia): Health insurance—universal cover or a safety-net? A critique
There are two ways to address this dilemma: universal cover, a predominantly publicly-funded health insurance system supporting access to health care on the basis of need; or a safety-net system that provides selective public funding for defined 'disadvantaged' groups.
Whether a universal or safety-net system is adopted is perhaps the most important characteristic of the health insurance model and is the main focus of this paper.
Universal cover deals directly with affordability, by ensuring all citizens have health insurance, regardless of income, employment status, or even preference for health insurance.
