✦ Synopsis

Jordan's relative success in containing costs is the result of public financing of the health insurance system, the health care system reform strategy, and expanding the primary care network, which allows for cost containment and universal access based on the need for services rather than the ability to pay. The shift of costs from the public to the private sector must be curtailed. The determinants of health care (i.e. environment; human biology; life style; and health care system) are the main factors that determine future spending on health. Copyright

Willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates derived from discrete-choice experiments (DCEs) generally assume that the marginal utility of income is constant. This assumption is consistent with theoretical expectations when costs are a small fraction of total income. We analyze the results of five DCEs that a

## Abstract Using data from the Health and Retirement Survey and the Assets and Health Dynamics of the Oldest Old survey, we estimate the stochastic process that determines both the distribution and dynamics of health care costs. We find that the data‐generating process for log health costs is well
