Abstract

Using cliometric methods and records from six grand-lodge archives, A Young Man's Benefit rejects the conventional wisdom about friendly societies and sickness insurance, arguing that IOOF lodges were financially sound institutions, were more efficient than commercial insurers, and met a market demand headed by young men who lacked alternatives to market insurance, not older men who had an above-average risk of sickness disability. Emery and Emery show that many young men joined the Odd Fellows for sickness insurance and quit the society once self-insurance - savings - or family insurance - secondary incomes from older children - made it feasible for them. The older men, who valued the social benefits of membership and did not need the sick benefit, gradually became a majority and dismantled the IOOF's insurance provisions.

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "Virus du SIDA, grippe aviaire (H5N1), grippe A (H1N1) la menace d'une pandémie appartient désormais à notre quotidien. Drame humain majeur, ce risque sanitaire entraînerait de lourdes conséquences financières pour les assureurs. À l'exception de la grippe espagnole de 1918, nous ne disposons que de peu de repères pour modéliser, appréhender et calculer l'impact d'une pandémie. Les nouvelles normes européennes Solvabilité II qui entrent en vigueur en 2013 donnent obligation aux assureurs de cartographier l'ensemble des risques. Dès lors, comment modéliser une pandémie ? Comment évaluer son coût ? Comment transférer tout ou partie de ce risque à un tiers (réassureur, marchés financiers via la titrisation) ? Quelle stratégie de couverture choisir ? Cet ouvrage modélise, pour la première fois, le risque de pandémie et apporte ainsi des réponses claires à l'ensemble de ces questions. Il constitue un guide essentiel pour les compagnies d'assurance."

From 1915 to 1920, Progressive reformers led a spirited but unsuccessful crusade for compulsory health insurance in New York State. Beatrix Hoffman shows that this first health insurance campaign was a crucial moment in the creation of the American welfare state and health care system.

Abstract

Although mandatory health insurance programs are being proposed or expanded in many developing countries, relatively little attention has been given to how these programs are governed. The available literature focuses almost exclusively on operational features that are important but will necessarily change over time-such as eligibility, benefit packages, and premiums. Governing Mandatory Health Insurance instead looks at the institutional and political forces that affect the behavior of such programs within their social and historical contexts and how five dimensions of governance-coherent dec

Abstract

This report provides the first-ever comparative analysis of the role and performance of private health insurance (PHI) in OECD countries. It analyses PHI markets and identifies policy issues arising from their interdependence with publicly financed health coverage schemes. The report assesses the impact of PHI against health policy objectives, paying special attention to the challenges and benefits associated with different insurance mixes. The analysis identifies strengths as well as areas where private health insurance might pose challenges to health system performance. This report shows how governments can help ensure that PHI markets make a positive contribution to the performance of health systems. Examples of useful practices for developing more efficient and equitable health insurance markets are also presented.
