It provides the organizing principle and a reponderance of the funding in seven countries \u2013 <strong>Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland<\/strong>. Since 1995, it has also become the legal basis for organizing health services in Israel. Previously, SHI models played an important role in a number of other countries that subsequently changed to predominantly tax-funded arrangements in the second half of the twentieth century \u2013 Denmark (1973), Italy (1978), Portugal (1979), Greece (1983) and Spain (1986). Moreover, there are segments of SHI-based health care funding arrangements still operating in predominantly tax-funded countries like Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom, as well as in Greece and Portugal. In addition, a substantial number of central and eastern European (CEE) countries have introduced adapted SHI models since they regained control over national policy-making \u2013 among them Hungary (1989), Lithuania (1991), Czech Republic (1992), Estonia (1992), Latvia (1994), Slovakia (1994) and Poland (1999). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;m going to add a topic Tag of &#8220;Social Heath Insurance&#8221; and cross tag all my &#8220;Bismarckian&#8221; ones so that it becomes clear they are the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>in Western Europe.
