If passed, the bills will set in motion far-reaching reforms to how health services are financed and delivered in Kenya. Among these bills is the Social Health Insurance Bill, which proposes extending health insurance to all Kenyans based on member contributions, with government-subsidized coverage for the poor. It also mandates the creation of three funds to cover different types of services and a new government agency to manage it all.<\/p>\n<p><em>Counterpoint<\/em> is ThinkWell\u2019s signature series of webinars, which offers a platform for a debate about questions related to health system strengthening.
