Includes bibliographical references (leaves 253-282). / The policy motivation for this research is primarily to investigate how in the direct absence of significant third-party financing mechanisms and government subsidies, direct purchase of healthcare affects the relative abilities of households to meet their other financial obligations after paying for the cost of health services.
