Author: Gabi Bin Nun

Abstract

The private health insurance (commercial and supplementary health insurance) sector has undergone a revolutionary transformation in recent years, both in the number of individuals who own private plans, and in the financial scope of these plans. With these developments in the background, leaders of the Israeli healthcare system convened in December 2012 at the Dead Sea for a discussion on “Private healthcare insurance plans in Israel: Developments, concerns, and directions for a solution”. This meeting report summarizes the main issues discussed at the conference.
