Foreword In this chapter we will discuss the privatization of the health system in Israel since the enactment of the National Health Insurance Law (hereinafter: Law) in 1995. As explained below, this law constitutes a nationalization of important parts of the health system. Therefore, when we consider the extent to which the health system is undergoing a process of privatization, it is important to distinguish between two questions: Have fields that were private before 1995 remained so? Has there been a setback in the scope of nationalization within the law and a greater role has been placed on the private sector?
