尽管在许多国家，政府在卫生保健筹资方面占主导地位，但私营卫生保健部门仍然很重要。这是事实，即使大多数公共供应从源头上得到大量补贴，而且在许多情况下是免费的。英国国家医疗服务体系（National Health Service）未能将私营部门排挤出去，因为它存在一定的不灵活性。在这里，我们表明，等待NHS治疗的时间越长，私人医疗保险的购买量越大。(C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.版权所有
In spite of government dominance in financing health care in many countries, the private health care sector remains important. This is true even though most public provision is heavily subsidized, and in many cases free, at source. Britain's National Health Service fails to drive out the private sector because it suffers from certain inflexibilities. Here, we show that longer waiting lists for NHS treatment are associated with greater purchases of private health insurance. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
