Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the rules of the health insurance law and its role in providing health protection needs, by clarifying and evaluating legal texts and health policies. As well as indicating the extent of benefiting from the services of the social health insurance system; by setting unified standards for working and non-working patients. Also, identifying health services and the extent to which all patients benefit from social health insurance systems in light of the capabilities available to the state, especially during the Corona virus; As the weakness of medical facilities appeared - rightly - with the spread of the Corona pandemic, which clearly revealed the weakness of these facilities and the need to review health insurance laws. Health insurance institutions are sometimes unable to provide all medical services, even the basic ones, for example: serious surgeries and some expensive medicines and other services, and the reason for this may be the weak financial allocations that finance this sector. Therefore, this study came to address the conditions of health protection for all under one comprehensive law for all, which allows them to have health insurance, and the state to pay health insurance fees for those who are unable, and their entitlement to treatment and health care, and on the other hand to clarify the types of health services provided by health institutions in normal times or during Epidemics, and monitoring these institutions to ensure their efficiency and quality.
