In 2001, Thailand began a programme to extend universal health insurance coverage to those without access to health services. Under the new programme, dubbed the "30 baht health plan", people register as patients with local health care providers and can then obtain all needed medical care for a co-payment of 30 baht (about US$ 0.35). The system is financed jointly from taxes and contributions by workers and employers, while health care providers are reimbursed on a capitation basis. The programme is not without its problems, but still represents a bold effort to confront health inequities (65). Another successful attempt to expand coverage to the poor was the health insurance reform in Colombia in the mid-1990s. Between 1995 and 2001 the number of contributors to the mandatory health insurance system was expanded from 9.2 to 18.2 million people. At the same time, the system was reformed so as to explicitly cross-subsidize the poor and unemployed. In 1995, 3 million people benefited from these cross-subsidies; by 2001 their number had grown to 11 million. Thus, millions of non-contributing individuals gained access to roughly the same package of benefits as those who made the contributions, in the public or private facility of their choice, and in the same way as those more affluent citizens who regularly contribute (66,67).
