Abstract

In this study, the situation out-of-pocket expenditures for healthcare financing in terms of vertical equity have been analyzed within implementation of Health Transformation Program (HTP) and the following periods in Turkey. In this context, Lorenz curves based on the capacity to pay of households have been created and the relative contributions of households from different economic status to the total out-of-pocket health expenditures compared with the Concentration curves. Household Budget Surveys compiled by TURKSTAT for 2002- 2016 were used in the analysis. The analysis results show that the financial burden of out-of-pocket health payments in the pre-SDP period is met by the relative rich households. The participation in finance progressivity has not continued and follow by regressive pattern. In other words, the contribution of the poor to participation in financing has begun to increase and vertical equity has deteriorated. In 2014 and 2016, the distribution of total out-of-pocket health expenditures improved at lower ratio in terms of vertical equity however, there has been no progressivity significant development in the distribution of equity towards the poor.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de uygulamaya konulan Sağlıkta Dönüşüm Programı (SDP) ve sonrasındaki süreçte, sağlık finansmanına yönelik doğrudan cepten yapılan harcamalarının dikey hakkaniyet açısından durumu analiz edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda, hanehalklarının ödeme gücüne dayalı Lorenz eğrileri oluşturulmuş ve toplam cepten yapılan sağlık harcamalarına farklı ekonomik kesimlerden hanehalklarının göreli katkıları Konsantrasyon eğrileriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Analizlerde 2002-2016 dönemi için iki yıl aralıklı olarak TÜİK tarafından derlenen Hanehalkı Bütçe Anketleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, SDP öncesi dönemde cepten yapılan sağlık ödemelerinin mali yükünün göreli zengin hanehalkları tarafından karşılandığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ancak sonrasında özellikle 2006, 2010 ve 2012 yıllarında finansmana katılımda progresif (progressive) -artan oranlı durum devam etmemiş ve regresif (regressive)- azalan oranlı bir desen (pattern) izlemiştir. Başka bir ifadeyle, finansmana katılımda yoksul kesimlerin katkısı artmaya başlamış ve dikey hakkaniyet bozulmuştur. 2014 ve 2016 yıllarında ise genel olarak, çok az oranda da olsa, toplam cepten yapılan sağlık harcamalarının dağılımında dikey hakkaniyet açsından bir iyileşme kaydedilmiş, ancak yoksul kesimlere doğru hakkaniyetin dağılımında progresif olarak önemli bir gelişme yaşanmamıştır.
