Abstract
Our research examines the effect Moroccan Health Insurance (MHI) on individual’s healthcare utilization and expenditures. We analyzed a random sample of 8000 households produced by the National Observatory of Human Development and found that the RAMED plan insures about 21.1% of them and that the Compulsory Health Insurance (AMO) covers 22.2 %. We found that the MHI is a positive influence on the utilization among beneficiaries and reduces the individual health costs, especially among the RAMed recipients.
