Abstract

Governments should transform medical insurance from a passive payer into an active health investor. By incorporating behavioral economics principles, such a reform reallocates policy design, resources, and decision-making power toward disadvantaged populations. This shift breaks the "well-intentioned policy trap", achieving lower medical costs alongside improved population health.
