    Abstract


    The objective of this paper was to understand the existing situation of people’s willingness to pay for health insurance at Hatinh city and then, to propose some measures to improve the situation. The research results were based on a survey of 200 households conducted in middle 2012 at 4 study sites of Hatinh city. The survey showed that a number of the people willing to pay for health insurance exhibits an increasing trend, but it shares a small proportion among total people holding the health insurance card. The rate of people visiting to the health care station using insurance card is high, but they still have to face with some troubles, such as long wait and medical staff’s unenthusiasm. Based on the interviewees’ opinion, the research proposes some measures to attract the people’ participation in the voluntary health insurance. They are: (1) promoting the dissimination of voluntary health insurance law; (2) enhancing the quality of health care services, (3) improving the staff’s attitude and ethics toward patients, and (4) reducing the administative procedures in the service of health care via the voluntary health insurance.
