ARTICLES RELATED TO Health insurance - Private health insurance | | | |  Health insurance - Private health insurance: Encyclopedia II - Health insurance - Private health insuranceHealth insurance is one of the most controversial forms of insurance because of the perceived conflict between the need for the insurance company to remain solvent versus the need of its customers to remain healthy, which many view as a basic human right.

| | | | Health insurance - Private health insurance: Encyclopedia II - Health insurance - History and evolution The concept of health insurance was proposed in 1694 by Hugh the Elder Chamberlen from the Peter Chamberlen family. In the late 19th century, early health insurance was actually disability insurance, in the sense that it covered only the cost of emergency care for catastrophic injuries that could (and often did) lead to a disability. This artifact of history persisted right up to the start of the 21st century in some jurisdictions (like California), where all laws regulating health insurance actually referred to disability insu ...

| | | | Health insurance - Private health insurance: Encyclopedia II - Health insurance - Medicare/Medicaid In the United States, health insurance is made more complicated by federal Medicare/Medicaid programs, which have had the unintended consequence of determining the price of medical procedures. Many suspect that these prices are set independently of medical necessity or actual cost. A physician who refuses to accept a Medicare/Medicaid payment will be banned from accepting any such payments for a number of years, regardless of the reason for rejecting the payment or the amount offered. In either case, this means that private insurers have ...

| | | | Health insurance - Private health insurance: Encyclopedia II - Health insurance - Health Insurance in the UK In the UK, Health insurance provides a supplemental level of health care as the National Health Service already provides a comprehensive health service. Because of the NHS, only 12% of people bother to have their own health insurance (compared with 85% in the US) and the majority of these (9%) have their insurance paid by their employer.

| | | | Health insurance - Private health insurance: Encyclopedia II - Health insurance - Publicly funded medicine Many countries have made the societal choice to avoid this important conflict by nationalizing the health industry so that doctors, nurses, and other medical workers become state employees, all funded by taxes; or setting up a national health insurance plan that all citizens pay into with tax or quasi-tax payments, and which pays private doctors for health care. These national health care systems also have their problems.
