abstract: 'Background Catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) is well established as
|
||||
|
||||
an indicator of financial protection on which there is extensive
|
||||
|
||||
literature. However, most works analyse mainly low to middle income
|
||||
|
||||
countries and do not address the different distributional dimensions of
|
||||
|
||||
CHE. We argue that, besides incidence, the latter are crucial to better
|
||||
|
||||
grasp the scope and nature of financial protection problems. Our
|
||||
|
||||
objectives are therefore to analyse the evolution of CHE in a high
|
||||
|
||||
income country, considering both its incidence and distribution. Methods
|
||||
|
||||
Data are taken from the last three waves of the Portuguese Household
|
||||
|
||||
Budget Survey conducted in 2005/2006, 2010/2011 and 2015/2016. To
|
||||
|
||||
identify CHE, the approach adopted is capacity to pay/normative food
|
||||
|
||||
spending, at the 40\% threshold. To analyse distribution, concentration
|
||||
|
||||
curves and indices (CI) are used and adjusted odds ratios are
|
||||
|
||||
calculated. Results The incidence of CHE was 2.57, 1.79 and 0.46\%, in
|
||||
|
||||
2005, 2010 and 2015, respectively. CHE became highly concentrated among
|
||||
|
||||
the poorest (the respective CI evolved from - 0.390 in 2005 to - 0.758
|
||||
|
||||
in 2015) and among families with elderly people (the absolute CI evolved
|
||||
|
||||
from 0.520 in 2005 to 0.740 in 2015). Absolute CI in geographical
|
||||
|
||||
context also increased over time (0.354 in 2015, 0.019 in 2005).
|
||||
|
||||
Medicines represented by far the largest share of catastrophic payments,
|
||||
|
||||
although, in this case concentration decreased (the median share of
|
||||
|
||||
medicines diminished from 93 to 43\% over the period analysed).
|
||||
|
||||
Contrarily, the weight of expenses incurred with consultation fees has
|
||||
|
||||
been growing (even for General Practitioners, despite the NHS coverage
|
||||
|
||||
of primary care). Conclusions The incidence of CHE and inequality in its
|
||||
|
||||
distribution might progress in the same direction or not, but most
|
||||
|
||||
importantly policy makers should pay attention to the distributional
|
||||
|
||||
dimensions of CHE as these might provide useful insight to target
|
||||
|
||||
households at risk. Greater concentration of CHE can actually be
|
||||
|
||||
regarded as an opportunity for policy making, because interventions to
|
||||
|
||||
tackle CHE become more confined. Monitoring the distribution of payments
|
||||
|
||||
across services can also contribute to early detection of emerging (and
|
||||
|
||||
even, unexpected) drivers of catastrophic payments.'
