Description
Althabaiti and coauthors study who holds private health cover in Saudi Arabia. The state runs a mixed system of state cover and private plans. A 2016 reform aims to shift more care to private plans. That shift may change who gets care and how often.
The team used a 2018 national family health survey. The set held 8,276 adults aged 18 or more. Forms logged cover type and clinic visits in the past year. The team compared traits of private plan holders and state users. They also weighed cover type against clinic visit rates.
