 2 minor   Health expenditure - Government/compulsory schemes       Health expenditure in government/compulsory schemes. Includes government schemes, social health insurance, compulsory private insurance and compulsory medical saving accounts. This category includes all schemes aimed at ensuring access to basic health care for the whole society, a large part of it, or at least some vulnerable groups. Included are: government schemes, social health insurance, compulsory private insurance and compulsory medical saving accounts. A key rationale for government intervention in health systems is to ensure access to basic health care for the whole society (or vulnerable social groups). This purpose can be pursued through different coverage schemes, which implies differing levels of redistribution between social groups and individuals. Health accounts are also expected to provide information for assessing how well health systems achieve this key policy goal. Therefore, for international comparability, it is important to have a general, aggregate category that includes all financing schemes that serve this goal.
