摘要
医疗救助在反贫困行动中发挥着重要作用。随着扶贫工作的深入展开,我国绝对贫困逐渐减弱,相对贫困现象日益显著。与此相适应,我国医疗救助对象范围应进一步扩大,将低收入人群和因病致贫人群纳入保障范围。本文采用低收入人群的不同设定标准分别测算了医疗救助的新增家庭户数,并采用世界卫生组织(WHO)的灾难性卫生支出标准测算了因病致贫人群所需的医疗救助资金,测算结果显示我国需加大医疗救助资金的投入,精准救助贫困人群,确保资金的有效利用。
Medical assistance plays an important role in anti-poverty actions.With the deepening of poverty alleviation,China’s poverty issues are also changing:absolute poverty is gradually weakening,whereas relative poverty is becoming increasingly prominent.Accordingly,medical assistance should be further extended to include low-income people and illness-induced poor people.This paper uses different criteria of low-income people to measure the number of newly-added households receiving medical assistance,and uses the WHO’s definition of catastrophic health expenditure to calculate the fund required for medical assistance for illness-induced poor people.The results show that China needs to enlarge the medical assistance fund,better target beneficiaries,and ensure the effective use of the fund.
