Overview

Analysis compares health insurance coverage in older adults between Kerala and Bihar, highlighting key disparities.

Key Points

  • Household health insurance coverage is significantly higher in Kerala compared to Bihar, suggesting state-level inequalities in access.
  • The analysis reveals that social stratification affects coverage in Bihar, with marginalized caste groups facing greater challenges.
  • Data from LASI Wave-I (2017-18) provides insights into the composition and determinants of health insurance across these states.
  • Targeted policies are needed to address specific gaps in coverage related to caste and household size in both states.
