The study entailed a household survey of 2,008 households, 40 focus group discussions (with potential beneficiaries), in addition to 51 key informant interviews with healthcare providers. The purpose of the study was to collect the data needed for designing and pricing an insurance plan. These data covered the socioeconomic status of the target population, incidence of illness and health-seeking behavior, cost of healthcare, and willingness to pay for health insurance.   1 2010   Siddharth Srivastava, Atanu Majumdar, Jacquiline Roberts Singh
