Private Health Care in New Zealand: Five Policy Prescriptions
1Associate, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan UK LLP, London.
Abstract:
New Zealand's private healthcare sector has recently drawn political attention as policymakers consider how best to shift the load from the public health system. This article explains and evaluates five policy prescriptions, drawn from experience in the United Kingdom and Australia, as candidates for achieving that broad aim: in brief, they are (1) financial incentives to purchase health insurance, (2) adoption of a lifetime community rating system of health insurance, (3) restrictions on selective contracting, (4) imposing information-sharing requirements on providers, and (5) restricting industry incentive schemes. It is concluded that several of these proposals are worthy of further research and analysis.
