Financial markets, actors, institutions, and technologies play a pivotal role in shaping the availability, narration, and representation of services and welfare. This Element delves into the rationale and operation of private health insurance, a financial technology, and the industry it inhabits. It provides a comprehensive cross-disciplinary analysis of the drivers of these markets in middle-income countries, exploring their appeal for development institutions and governments. Through illustrative case examples and critical scholarship, it examines how new markets are pursued and how states are entangled in market development. It also reflects on how the private health insurance sector is shaping and segmenting health systems, as well as our notions of rights, fairness, and responsibility.
