User fees for health care... (4)
--------------------------------

hehehe... this user fees issue seems interesting. We have just
had a look at user fees in my health economics class and all the
info seems to point at fees being a discouragement towards
healthcare seeking, and this includes all fees... official and
under the table(!) in developing countries and even in the de-
veloped ones where individuals can't afford the insurance. The
question is where will the money come from to run the systems in
LDC's since there is not a sufficient tax base to support free
healthcare like for the case of Britain?
