Health Insurance and MarketFailure
The dominant feature n the medical marketplace is thereliance on the third-party payment mechanism. Justas insurance has shaped the market for medical care,the tax subsidy to health insurance. Thus, in addition to
the traditional sources of market failure, this subsidy tohealth insurance provides a strong incentive for overconsumption [Pauly, 1986].
7/29/2019 Economy and Taxation
21/31
Health Insurance and Market Failure
The subsidy on insurance has the effect of thereducing the after-tax-net loading costs onthe insurance. The result is an increase in the
demand for the types of insurance where netbenefits are small, such as prescription drugs,dental care, and eyeglasses. Deductibles andcopayments also tend to be lower on average
with the subsidy.

Information Problems
Information cost are a centraleconomic decision making. Themost challenging problems thatarise because of costly informationare due to unequal access to
information. One party to aneconomic transaction has moreand better information than allother parties. Two issues arisewhen access to information is not
equal, or, more formally, wheninformation is asymmetricallydistributed: imperfect consumerinformation on price and quality,moral hazard, and adverse
selection.

Types of Health Care/HealthInsurance Plans in the Philippines PhilHealth Affordable and continuing social health insurance for
Filipinos of any age at an affordable rate of about $4 permonth, as of June 2010. This program ensureshospitalization discounts for contributing members at any
accredited hospital in the Philippines. There are three kinds of PhilHealth membership available:
employed membership, individually paying membershipand lifetime membership. Filipinos who are regularlyemployed pay less than individually paying (self-employedand freelance) members because employers providemonthly co-payments for their employees, as required byPhilippine law. A lifetime member doesn't have to pay themonthly contribution, since this kind of membershiprequires paying a lump-sum amount to cover the lifetimemembership.

Private Health Insurance
A private or public health insurance in the Philippine
setting is a term more popularly used for insuring a
person from critical illness and hospitalization. Since a
separate health insurance generally works independentlyfrom an HMO plan, a basic health insurance policy covers
hospital expenses as a supplement to HMO coverage.
Private health insurance companies cover health
expenses for individuals, families and groups. Plans are
either paid in full by freelance or self-employed members
or partially paid or acquired for free by regular
employees. An individual plan may be upgraded to a
family plan to extend coverage to family members. Group
insurance is designed for groups of three or more
persons. Like with a family plan, it can offer customized
coverage with premium discounts.

Types of Health Care/Health
Insurance Plans in the Philippines Health Maintenance Organization HMO is the common managed care plan in the Philippines while a health insurance plan works
separately for emergency cases and hospitalization. While there are available packages offered
by health insurance companies for additional coverage, the affordability ofHMO plans are more
amenable to Filipinos with average income, especially those who are of considerably healthy
age.
An HMO plan is usually acquired for free through employment. However, freelancers and non-working individuals can also avail themselves of individual and family HMO accounts to cover
basic medical expenses for preventive and outpatient care, medical treatment and
hospitalization. Unlike in the United States, the Philippines only offers HMO plans and not
preferred provider organization (PPO) plans. There are also health discount cards offered by
specific groups, mostly medical and diagnostics clinics, to also supplement HMO and health
insurance coverage. Those who can't afford an HMO plan usually avail of such health discount
cards to help them ease the burden of medical expenses.
