Abstract

El sistema de salud chileno presenta características únicas. En el país existe un mandato que obliga a los trabajadores activos y pasivos a cotizar un 7% de su ingreso para adscribirse junto a sus dependientes a un sistema de seguro de salud. Esta adscripción obligatoria puede ser al sistema público, el cual se organiza a través de una modalidad solidaria tradicional de seguridad social, o bien al sistema privado, el cual ofrece seguros de salud que obedecen a una lógica de tipo individual. La elección de uno de los sistemas es voluntaria, pero las características de los seguros ofrecidos y su precio de acceso producen una segmentación del mercado de manera tal que las personas de mayores ingresos y menor riesgo se orientan hacia el sector privado de las ISAPRE (Instituciones de Salud Previsional) y aquellos de menores ingresos y mayor riesgo de salud son atendidos en el sistema público.
