Résumé anglais Mixed Health-Insurance Systems, Equity, Risk Management and Cost Control by Stéphane Jacobzone This paper studies the mixed nature of health-insurance systems, listing the various arguments in favour of state intervention. The latter include the redistribution principle and potential dysfunctions in insurance systems. The importance of collective-choice models for understanding the nature of balances is demonstrated. This makes it possible to address problems relating to incentive management in health-insurance systems. Of the factors which affect expenditure patterns, the interaction between insurers/payers and care providers would seem to be determining, especially as regards the pace and type of technological innovation encouraged by reimbursement. A discussion of organisational forms shows the advantage of integrated methods of social security coverage, possibly coupled with development of lump-sum payments for the providers.
