Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el efecto diferencial de la Seguridad Social (SS) y Seguro Popular (SP) sobre la Protección Financiera en Salud (PFS) para hogares con integrantes que padecen enfermedades crónicas. Utilizando datos de ENSANUT 2018, se implementó el método de pareo por puntaje de propensión sobre la afiliación al SS y al SP para estimar su efecto atribuible en indicadores de PFS. Este estudio nos permite anticipar las consecuencias diferenciadas de gastos catastróficos en las finanzas familiares. Se recomienda dirigir políticas de salud a mejorar el paquete de beneficios del SP (ahora INSABI). La originalidad de este estudio reside en el análisis comparativo de los esquemas de seguridad en salud, enfocado en hogares con enfermos crónicos. Una de las limitantes es la desaparición del SP, pero los resultados pueden utilizarse para la implementación de la nueva política de salud. Se concluye que el SP ofrece una PFS insuficiente, y de no corregirse complica la sustentabilidad financiera de los hogares con enfermos crónicos.
