Resumo(s)
Despite the fact that public medical care has being heavily subsidized through a
statutory national health system there has been a growing number of people who opt to
enroll in extra private coverage. Using a two part model to infer the insurance decision
and subsequent amount of insurance chosen we found out that people’s decision over
private health coverage is not related with their health. The pattern of consumption of
medical care that is not available in the public sector and a good socio economic
background were found significant modeling the demand for private health insurance.
