Abstract

This article examines the impact of Seguro Popular (SP) in health services utilization, in the labor market, and in household health expenditures. Benefiting from longitudinal data from the Mexican Family Life Survey, we use propensity score matching techniques to analyze the data by gender and population origin. In general, the SP has not impacted the number of hospitalizations and out-patient consultations, with the exception of urban women. The analysis by institution shows that, in urban populations, the SP has increased external consultations in the health care facilities provided by the Health Ministry. The SP shows a negative impact in the Mexican Institute of Social Security coverage, and in the formal employment of urban women and rural men. At the household level, we do not find any effect on household health expenditures.// Este artículo examina el impacto del Seguro Popular (SP) en la utilización de servicios de salud, en el gasto de los hogares en salud y en el mercado laboral. El análisis se realiza por género y origen de la población (urbano y rural) utilizando datos longitudinales de la Encuesta Nacional sobre Niveles de Vida de los Hogares (ENNViH), y el método de emparejamiento de marcadores de propensión. En general, se observa que el SP no ha tenido un impacto en el número de hospitalizaciones y consultas externas, con excepción de las mujeres de origen urbano. El análisis por institución muestra que el SP ha provocado un incremento en la consulta ofrecida en establecimientos de la Secretaría de Salud (SSA) en poblaciones urbanas. Adicionalmente, se observa que el SP ha tenido un impacto negativo en la cobertura del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) y en el empleo formal de las mujeres de origen urbano, y de los hombres de origen rural. En el ámbito del hogar, no se encuentra ningún impacto en el gasto en salud
