“…Renegade surgeons sometimes boast of their enhanced outcomes based on the freshness of organs culled from places they dare not ask about. 165 So the question of what to do about the desperate sufferer who mortgages a house for an experimental treatment that turns out to be little more than saline is one that we need to face boldly. Again, if one looks at transplantation practices, the reality could not be clearer.…”

“…Studies show that BMM cannot be eradicated by government action alone. It requires broad consensus on the part of the government and the people as to which of these goods and services may be traded legally and how, as well as an overall change in public responsiveness to the legal, political, economic, moral and other dimensions of such trade (Mendoza 2010: 256). Certainly in Israel, such consensus does not exist.…”

Black‐market Medicine and Public Opinion Towards the Welfare State: Evidence from Israel

Based on a survey and interviews, this article presents and analyses Israeli public opinion toward black-market medicine (BMM) and the welfare state. In addition to providing quantitative and qualitative evidence of the existence of under-the-table payments in Israel, we suggest various insights into this phenomenon. While most citizens admit that they would consider making under-the-table payments in order to receive preferential medical treatment, when the questions mention words such as 'illegal' or 'bribe', respondents tend to be less tolerant of such activities. We find that, first, there is a basic willingness among Israeli citizens to use BMM. Second, despite this predilection, Israeli citizens are reluctant to articulate their willingness to engage in such illegal activities. This reluctance implies the existence of a moral barrier among the population as far as identifying themselves with illegal behaviour is concerned. We may infer the existence of a gap between declared attitudes and behaviour. Third, the fact that people's willingness to engage in BMM is greater than their willingness to adopt black-market strategies in other areas signifies the special nature of health care. Finally, by connecting the phenomenon of BMM to public opinion regarding the welfare state, we point to a possible gap between normative attitudes and preferences produced by structural conditions.

“…Deceased-donor registries do not exist in most countries. Practices such as black market trade and financial compensation are more prevalent and often disproportionally target poorer members of the population as donors (Mendoza 2010). The preponderance of efficacy data demonstrate equivalent survival for patients on HD compared with PD, but HD predominates as the primary mode of therapy.…”
