| Tiivistelmä: | The study evaluates alternative healthcare systems by using an ex post social welfare function. If a society is averse to inequality and there is some income disparity, social welfare under private healthcare insurance is sometimes higher and sometimes lower than social welfare under public healthcare. However, a third system - public healthcare with the option to purchase supplemental healthcare insurance - is always socially preferred to private healthcare insurance. |
