Network membership and demand for health insurance
Despite being free and having liberal eligibility criteria, the adoption of public health insurance in India remains low. This article examines how informal networks influence adoption behaviour, in the context of Andhra Pradesh’s Aarogyasri programme. It shows that network type matters: information networks do not significantly impact the uptake of public insurance, whereas financial networks actually facilitate, rather than hinder, public insurance adoption.
