Tóm tắt :

The incidence of catastrophic health spending is low in Sweden compared to many countries in Europe due to relatively high levels of public spending on health, and health coverage policy carefully designed to protect children and adolescents from co-payments. Catastrophic spending on health is concentrated among poor people. The drivers of financial hardship are dental care and medical products on average, but among the poorest quintile, the largest contributor to catastrophic spending is outpatient medicines. There is also substantial socioeconomic inequality in unmet need for dental care and prescribed medicines. User charges (co-payments) are widespread in the Swedish health system. Although there are age-related exemptions and annual caps in place to protect some people from some co-payments, both policies could be improved. The results of this analysis suggest that more could be done to protect poor households, including action to lower access barriers and out-of-pocket payments for people receiving social benefits. This review is part of a series of country-based studies generating new evidence on financial protection in European health systems. xiv + 73 p.
