Abstract

This paper exploited five different data sets of the national household survey in pre- (years 2000 and 2001) and post- (years 2002 and 2004) universal health care coverage (UC) periods to analyse trends and patterns of the distribution of utilisation and out-of-pocket (OOP) payments for public health care in relation to the distribution of household living standards. [EQUITAP WP 16].
