The health-care organizations may not bar applicants on any ground, including age or state of health. Residents who had been insured with one of these organizations before the law came into effect, will continue to be members of that organization. Residents who had not been insured prior to the law taking effect, are assigned to a health-care organization by the Ministry of Health. After a period of six months they may transfer to another organization of their choice. Spouses may each register in a different organization. Children under 18 belong to the organization of the parent who is receiving child benefits from the National Insurance Institute. Israeli citizens who have been living abroad for more than five years and have not spent more than 90 days in Israel must renew registration with a health-care organization upon their return to Israel. New immigrants must register with a health-care organization upon arrival in the country. They will be exempt from payment during their first year in Israel. Any person registered for at least one year with one of the health-care organizations, may transfer to another organization. The law accords equal status to all four health-care organizations.
