This study explores the demand for private health care and supplemental health insurance in Israel, where universal national health insurance provides all inhabitants with a standard package of medical care. Our theoretical model and empirical study follow research previously conducted in four other countries. It was found that the self-employed in Israel demand more private health services and supplemental health insurance than wage-earners. Income, age, education, health status, marital status, origin, and profession were found to play a part in explaining these demands.
本研究探讨了以色列对私人医疗保健和补充医疗保险的需求，在该国，全民国家医疗保险为所有居民提供标准的医疗保健套餐。我们的理论模型和实证研究借鉴了之前在其他四个国家进行的研究。研究发现，以色列的个体经营者比工薪阶层需要更多的私人医疗服务和补充医疗保险。研究发现，收入、年龄、教育程度、健康状况、婚姻状况、出身和职业在解释这些需求方面都起到了一定作用。
