The present chapter seeks to analyze the impact of EU law on private health insurance at national level.

Two main results are brought out. First, though EU law appears to be a "matrix" for private health insurance activity, it is actually rather flexible so that there is latitude for national regulation of the PHI market. This generates some uncertainty. Second, there are various forms of arrangements at national level relating to health coverage, and this is why the impact of EU law is differentiated.Read less <
