Editing Yitzhak Rabin (section)

===Economic and social reforms===
Rabin significantly reformed Israel's economy, as well as its education and healthcare systems. His government significantly expanded the [[privatization]] of business, moving away from the country's traditionally socialized economy. The scheme was described by [[Moshe Arens]] as a "privatization frenzy". In 1993, his government set up the "Yozma" program, under which attractive tax incentives were offered to foreign [[venture capital]] funds that invested in Israel and promised to double any investment with government funding. As a result, foreign venture capital funds invested heavily in the growing Israeli high-tech industry, contributing to Israel's economic growth and status as a world leader in high-tech. In 1995, the National Health Insurance Law was passed. The law created Israel's [[universal health care]] system, moving away from the traditionally [[Histadrut]]-dominated health insurance system. Doctors' wages were also raised by 50%. Education spending was raised by 70%, with new colleges being built in Israel's peripheral areas, and teachers' wages rising by one-fifth. His government also launched new public works projects such as the [[Highway 6 (Israel)|Cross-Israel Highway]] and an expansion of [[Ben Gurion Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marketwatch.com/story/yitzhak-rabins-little-known-economic-legacy-2015-10-29|title=Yitzhak Rabin's little-known economic legacy|first=Amotz|last=Asa-El}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/watch-what-you-privatize-1.5392904|title=Be Careful What You Privatize|date=30 August 2015|newspaper=Haaretz}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.haaretz.com/1.5410499|title=The Bottom Line / When the Horses Are Far, Far Away|date=26 September 2001|newspaper=Haaretz}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.city-journal.org/html/silicon-israel-13208.html|title=Silicon Israel|date=23 December 2015}}</ref>
