摘要
“重点解决农民因大病而出现的因病致贫、因病返贫”是新型农村合作医疗实施的一个重要政策目标,评价这一政策目标的实现程度,要求准确衡量新型农村合作医疗对保护农民免于疾病经济风险所起的作用。根据国际上关于灾难性卫生支出和致贫性卫生支出的研究,提出新型农村合作医疗保护农民免于疾病经济风险的作用的操作定义,并阐述了其分析和测量方法。
One of the main policy goals of the New Cooperative Medical Scheme is to protect the rural population from financial risk due to illness. It is critical to measure financial protection in scheme evaluations. Based on literature on catastrophic health payments and impoverishing health payments research, this paper gives operational definition to the impact of the scheme on financial protection and provides the methodology to gauge how much financial protection it can provide.
