RESUMEN
Resumen

Objetivos:

Determinar el impacto del Seguro Popular (SPS) en los gastos catastróficos y empobrecedores de los hogares y la protección financiera del sistema de salud en México. Material y

métodos:

Se aplicó el método de pareo por puntaje de propensión sobre la afiliación al SPS y se determinó el efecto atribuible en el gasto en salud. Se hizo uso de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares (ENIGH) de 2004 a 2012, del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía.

Resultados:

El SPS tiene un efecto significativo reductor en la probabilidad de sufrir gastos empobrecedores. En lo que respecta a los gastos catastróficos hubo reducción sin ser significativa entre grupos.

Conclusión:

Este estudio demuestra el efecto que el SPS, y en particular el aseguramiento en salud, tiene como un instrumento de protección financiera. Para futuros estudios se propone analizar la persistencia del alto porcentaje del gasto de bolsillo aprovechando series de tiempo más largas de la ENIGH.
ABSTRACT
Abstract

Objective:

To determine the impact of Seguro Popular (SPS) on catastrophic and impoverishing household expenditures and on the financial protection of the Mexican health system. Materials and

methods:

The propensity score matching (PSM) method was applied to the population affiliated to SPS to determine the program's attributable effect on health expenditure. This analysis uses the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) during 2004-2012, conducted by Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).

Results:

It was found that SPS has a significant effect on reducing the likelihood that households will incur impoverishing expenditures. A negative effect on catastrophic expenditures was also found, but it was not statistically significant.

Conclusion:

This paper shows the effect that SPS, in particular health insurance, has as an instrument of financial protection. Future studies using longer periods of ENIGH data should analyze the persistence of high out-of-pocket expenditure.
