Examining the financial feasibility of universal health insurance in India
No full textFinancing health care has been a major subject of concern for many years for the policy in India. Biggest concern is out of pocket expenditure on health making poor the poorer and pushing or holding them below the poverty line. Many schemes have been introduced by the Governments at State as well as central levels, to tackle the problem but the schemes and initiatives have been marred by different issues and gaps identified in this study .There exists a plethora of schemes that have been targeted to specific region, population, specific group or occupation, e.g., Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) is targeted only towards below poverty line (BPL) population. Another government supported scheme, Universal Health Insurance Scheme (UHIS), which also covers people from Above Poverty Line, is mainly a premium subsidized scheme for them and not a fully funded scheme. The purpose of this study is to assess the financial feasibility of universal Health Insurance for the population in India. In this paper we have studied the existing schemes related to Health insurance supported by the government. Based on this evaluation we have tried to provide an analytical framework to calculate the fiscal burden of providing universal health cover to meet the health for all objective of the Government
Money and general disequilibrium, Part I: Static economy
No full textSeminar delivered at GIPE on 21 October 2015This paper explores the existence of monetary general equilibrium in the context of a classical model of general equilibrium theory. It begins by constructing the model of an ideal economy in which money is inessential This model is the counterpart of the Arrow-Hahn model that has no place for money. It then proceeds to articulate a more realistic model of a barter economy in which money plays an essential role in reducing transaction costs and materially improving the economic outcome. Techno-institutional arrangements of currency and credit moneys have been discussed and the conditions under which a unique positive general equilibrium exists have been obtained. General disequilibrium is shown to prevail if a part of the proceeds or income generated by currently produced outputs are devoted to accumulating money balances, i.e. saving exceeds investment. Fiscal solutions for restoring full employment general equilibrium have also been demonstrated
