Tóm tắt : | 6 p. This summary assesses the extent to which people in Israel experience financial hardship when they use health care or financial barriers that prevent them from accessing health care. It covers the period from 2005 to 2024 using data from household budget surveys from 2005 to 2022 (the latest available year), data on unmet need for health care up to 2021 (the latest available year) and information on health coverage policy (population coverage, service coverage and user charges) up to April 2024. In 2022, 2% of households were impoverished or further impoverished after out-of-pocket payments (data not shown) and 5% of households experienced catastrophic health spending. Catastrophic health spending is heavily concentrated in households with low incomes. The incidence of catastrophic health spending is higher than the national average in households in the poorest consumption quintile (18%) and households headed by ultra-orthodox Jews (10%), older adults (9%) and Arabs (7%). |
