This paper presents and compares two threshold approaches to measuring the fairness of health care payments, one requiring that payments do not exceed a pre-specified proportion pre-payment income, other they drive households into poverty. We develop indices for 'catastrophe' capture intensity catastrophe as well its incidence also allow analyst degree which catastrophic occur disproportionately among poor households. Measures poverty impact capturing both are developed. The arguments...
Most of the member countries Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) aim to ensure equitable access health care. This is often interpreted as requiring that care be available on basis need not willingness or ability pay. We sought examine equity in physician utilization 21 OECD year 2000.Using data from national surveys European Community Household Panel, we extracted number visits a general practitioner medical specialist over previous 12 months. Visits were...
Abstract This paper presents new international comparative evidence on the factors driving inequalities in use of GP and specialist services 12 EU member states. The data are taken from 1996 wave European Community Household Panel (ECHP). We examine two types utilisation (the probability a visit conditional number positive visits) for medical care: general practitioner visits using probit, truncated Negbin generalised models. find little or no income‐related inequity these countries....
Abstract Out‐of‐pocket (OOP) payments are the principal means of financing health care throughout much Asia. We estimate magnitude and distribution OOP for in fourteen countries territories accounting 81% Asian population. focus on that catastrophic, sense severely disrupting household living standards, approximate such by those absorbing a large fraction resources. Bangladesh, China, India, Nepal Vietnam rely most heavily have highest incidence catastrophic payments. Sri Lanka, Thailand...
Abstract This paper provides new evidence on the sources of differences in degree income‐related inequalities self‐assessed health 13 European Union member states. It goes beyond earlier work by measuring using an interval regression approach to compute concentration indices and decomposing inequality into its determining factors. New more comparable data were used, taken from 1996 wave Community Household Panel . Significant (utility) favouring higher income groups emerge all countries, but...

Abstract In the absence of formal health insurance, we argue that strategies households adopt to finance care have important implications for measurement and interpretation how payments impact on consumption poverty. Given data source finance, propose (a) approximate relative current with a ‘coping’‐adjusted expenditure ratio, (b) uncover poverty is ‘hidden’ because total household inflated by financial coping (c) identify ‘transient’ necessary temporarily sacrificed pay care. Measures...
Heterogeneity in reporting of health by socio-economic and demographic characteristics potentially biases the measurement disparities. We use anchoring vignettes to identify socio-demographic differences Indonesia, India China. Homogeneous group is rejected correcting for heterogeneity tends reduce slightly estimated disparities education (not China) increase those income. But method does not reveal substantial bias measures
