| Research Abstract |
This project investigates impacts of public provision of universal health insurance(UHI). A redistribution effect on welfare, rather than on wealth, is found-the old gain more than the young, and the low-wealth gain more than the high-wealth. We find an inverse U-shaped welfare pattern with increased UHI expenditure coverage rates an that the rates in most OECD countries might be too high (the average is about 70%) when the tax distortion is taken into account.
