Abstract

Nei prossimi decenni tutti i Paesi ad economia e welfare sviluppati dovranno fronteggiare spese sanitarie fortemente crescenti, con trend potenziali che nel lungo periodo, al 2050-2060, potrebbero raddoppiare o più che raddoppiare l'incidenza della componente pubblica sul Pil. Così emerge dalle più recenti proiezioni Ecofin, Ocse e Fmi. Non si tratta di casi scolastici di proiezione, dal momento che la dinamica storicamente osservata dal Dopoguerra ad oggi ci ha già posto di fronte ad aumenti di questa proporzione e anche più forti. Alla domanda «Dove va la spesa?», la risposta che appare più responsabile è «È questo l'ordine di grandezza del potenziale di crescita sul Pil», oltre che delle pressioni che potranno giungere alle finanze pubbliche e all'equilibrio socio-economico. E si deve anche considerare che la dinamica storicamente osservata ingloba gli effetti delle politiche di governo e stabilizzazione della spesa. Corrispondentemente, la dinamica potenziale, sottostante i profili di incidenza della spesa sul Pil dal 1960 ad oggi, è stata addirittura superiore. Se per la spesa effettiva si deve parlare di incidenza sul Pil raddoppiata e, in alcuni casi, aumentata di multipli sino a tre e oltre, per la spesa potenziale l'aumento sarebbe stato molto più intenso. Di fronte a tali prospettive, le conclusioni di questo scritto non voglio essere negative ed allarmiste. Al contrario, è necessario che il policy maker si attivi subito affinché gli strumenti a disposizione siano all'altezza di governare e bilanciare costantemente il trade-off tra sostenibilità finanziaria e adeguatezza delle prestazioni. Il solo finanziamento a ripartizione che contraddistingue la maggior parte dei sistemi sanitari non potrà reggere l'impatto; ma non potrà essere risolutivo neppure l'affiancamento di finanziamenti privati che si affidino a soluzioni di pura mutualità o di assicurazione.
