Abstract
⺠We examine relationship between self-assessed health and private insurance demand. ⺠Contrary to theoretical predictions, insurance demand increases with better health. ⺠Negative observable health conditions decrease the purchase of private insurance. ⺠Further, negative observable health conditions worsen self-assessed health. ⺠We conclude that there is a screening on the part of insurers.
