4.1 Non-life Insurance 4.1.1 Introduction Non-life insurance includes all insurance lines that are not life insurance or health insurance. Non-life insurance focuses in three main areas: a. Property insurance: vehicle-property, loss of property, comprehensive home, comprehensive business, engineering insurance, etc.; b. Liability insurance: compulsory vehicle, third party liability, professional indemnity, employers liability, etc.; c. Financial insurance: credit insurance, guarantees, etc. There are currently 18 insurance companies in Israel, active in 15 non-life insurance lines. Most of these companies operate in the following insurance lines: motor vehicle, home, employers liability and loss of property. Besides insurance companies, two unique bodies operate in the compulsory vehicle line: a. Karnit Road Accident Victim Compensation Fund which compensates victims entitled to compensation for bodily harm under the law, and who are unable to claim compensation; b. The Managing Corporation of Compulsory Vehicle Insurance Pool (The Pool) Ltd. is responsible for insuring each applicant who was unable to obtain insurance coverage with commercial insurance companies. 76

In 2011, total insurance premiums in the compulsory vehicle line increased by NIS 135 million, or about 3.8%, compared to 2010. 1 From 2009, the report on other liability lines was split into four sectors: third party liability, professional indemnity, product liability and other insurance. The mortgage bank line includes building insurance, sold through agencies owned by mortgage banks in the context of housing loan secured by mortgage. The comprehensive homeline includes building insurance and contents insurance that were not sold through agencies and mortgage banks. 77

The two lines of vehicle insurance, compulsory and comprehensive, are the largest (about 60% of total premiums) and most competitive of the non-life insurance lines. The compulsory vehicle line is the more competitive of the two, and its three largest companies alone represent 38% of total premiums in this line. The credit insurance line continues to be centralized, with only two active companies. Nonetheless, total premiums in this line amount to NIS 97 million, representing only about 0.6% of the total insurance premiums in all non-life insurance lines.

Financing compulsory motorcycle insurance in The Pool Damage costs of motorcyclists with compulsory motorcycle in the framework of The Pool, amounted in NIS 488 million in 2011, compared to NIS 574 million in 2010. Figure D-1 shows the three sources of financing insurance payments for motorcyclists: 1. Insurance premium from insured motorcyclists In 2011, the total insurance premiums 2 from insured motorcyclists in The Pool fell by about 20%, from NIS 255 million in 2010 to about NIS 204 million in 2011. At the same time, there was an increase in insurance company premiums from motorcyclists, from NIS 59 million in 2010 to about NIS 93 in million in 2011. 2. Division Order The total amount of funds that the insurance companies are expected to pay The pool under the Division Order, 3 as a result of motorcycle accidents in 2011 involving another vehicle, dropped to NIS 126 million compared to NIS 132 million in 2010. 3. Subsidy by the public The general public of drivers in Israel insured under Compulsory Vehicle insurance has been subsidizing The Pool deficit year after year. In 2011, the motorcycle insurance subsidy in the pool was NIS 158 million compared to 187 million in 2010, a decrease of about 16%. Subsidy of the cost of motorcycle accidents by the other drivers in Israel means that every person insured under compulsory vehicle insurance has in effect paid a kind of motorcycle tax. A detailed breakdown of the composition of the payment to The Pool to cover injuries to motorcyclists shows that the insurance premiums of the motorists themselves covered only 42% of the damage, while the remaining 58% was covered by the other drivers in Israel. It should be noted that in 2011 there was a decline of 19% in the number of persons insured under The Pool compared to 2010 when 37% of all motorcyclists were insured by insurance companies not in The Pool.

This amendment provided that in a road accident involving a motorcycle and another type of vehicle, the insurer of the other vehicle will pay the motorcyclist s insurer 75% of the compensation in respect of bodily injuries to the motorcyclist, instead of 50% prior to the revision. 82

Figure D-2 presents the annual deficit of The Pool and the average subsidy rate paid by an insured in compulsory vehicle insurance each year. In 2011, an average of about NIS 59 was added to the average compulsory vehicle insurance tariff, compared with an average of NIS 92 paid in the last nine years. For example, a purchaser of compulsory vehicle insurance costing NIS 2,000, actually paid NIS 1,941 for his own insurance, and another NIS 59 as claims coverage to The Pool on account of motorcycle accidents. In 2011, the number of insureds in The Pool fell by about 19%, compared to 2010. This decrease explains the decline in The Pool s deficit and a decline in the subsidy paid by regular insureds with compulsory vehicle insurance. 4 Measured for December 2011. 83

The premium-gdp ratio and the premium ratio per capita represent the degree of market penetration of non-life insurance services. Despite the increase in premiums collected, the growth rate is lower than the GDP growth, and therefore there is a significant downward trend in the rate of premiums-gdp. 85

4.2 Health Insurance 4.2.1 Introduction Health insurance covers the entire range of health treatment in the life of the insured, such as surgery, transplants, medications, long term care, criticalillnesses, and more. 5 In Israel, Sick Funds and insurance companies offer a variety of health insurance services and coverage which are composed of three layers: A. Basic layer a basket of services provided by the Sick Funds to which all Israeli residents are eligible. These services are financed from the state budget and health insurance premiums collected by the National Insurance Institute. B. Supplementary health services (SHS) additional health services that the Sick Funds offer their members and which are not included in the basic layer of services. Each Sick Fund member can purchase additional health services of his choice. C. Commercial health insurance three types of health insurance coverage that insurance companies offer can serve as a substitute, supplement or addition to coverage provided in the basic package and SHS plans. Services provided by Sick Funds are supervised by the Division of Supervision and Control of Sick Funds and SHS in the Ministry of Health, while the health insurance of insurance companies is supervised by the Capital Market Insurance and Savings Commissioner. 4.2.2 National and Private Health Expenditure In 2011, the national health expenditure (public and private expenditure) in Israel stood at NIS 67.4 billion. In 2011, private expenditure, including inter alia, direct household payments, premium payments to insurance companies and Sick Fund payments for the SHS plan was 37.8% of the total national expenditure. 6 In 2011, premium payments with regard to health insurance to insurance companies was about 10.4% of the national health expenditure and about 27.4% of private health expenditure. 4.2.3 Main Health Insurance Data Health insurance includes two main lines: illness and hospitalization, which constitutes most of the insurance companies activity, and personal accident insurance. Illness and hospitalization line includes the following sub-lines: Medical expenses insurance (such as surgery, medications and transplants), long term care insurance, critical illness insurance, dental insurance, disability insurance, travel insurance and health insurance for foreign workers. 5 Data in this chapter do not include PHI (Permanent Health Insurance), which is reported as part of the life insurance report in the Long Term Savings chapter (see table C-2) 6 Based of Central Bureau of Statistics data. 87

Table D-7 indicates that in the last eight years there have been significant changes in the scope of activity of insurance companies in the sub-lines. For example, there has been a significant increase in the sub-lines of medical expenses, long term care and critical illness - both in individual insurance and in group insurance. 89

This indicates a continued upward trend in premiums in this sub-line - a cumulative increase of 167% since 2003, and an average annual increase of 13% in the last eight years. It can be seen that this increase is due to an increase in the volume of individual insurance and group insurance when the ratio between them remains almost constant. 91

This points to a continued upward trend in premiums in this sub-line, a cumulative increase of 341% since 2003, and an average annual increase of 20.4% in the last eight years. The number of insureds under long term care insurance in 2011 amounted to about 5.42 million, of which about 0.4 million were insured under individual long term care insurance and about 5 million under group long term care insurance. The majority of insureds in group long term care insurance are insured in a framework within the Sick Funds (about 3.98 million). 92
