Turkey began to reform its healthcare system in 2003 and introduced universal health insurance in 2008. This paper tests the effect of health reform in Turkey on satisfaction in the poor with public health services. An ordered logit model is applied to a pooled data set compiled from the Life Satisfaction Survey (N?=?60,281) by the Turkish Statistical Institute during the period from 2003 to 2011. The results reveal that at the outset, the lowest 30 percent income group was less satisfied than the highest 70 percent income group, but this satisfaction gap dissipated after 2004 and never reappeared even during the post-reform period (2009–11).
