Abstract

本稿では、今後の我が国の社会保障給付を賄うための財源として、保険料と税の異同に着目して、これらの負担のあり方について議論する。特に、本稿では、医療保険に着目する。高齢化に伴い今後増大することが予想されている医療給付の財源を安定的に確保して医療保険制度を持続可能にするためには、国民が世代を超えて広く納得できる形で負担を求めることが不可欠である。本稿では、経済学の観点から、保険料と税の負担のあるべき姿を提示した。医療保険制度が担うことが期待されている保険機能と所得再分配機能に着目して、保険原理に基づいた保険料水準の設定と、所得再分配を意識して保険料負担が困難な個人に対して税財源を用いた保険料減免を、現行制度よりさらに明確に行うことが求められる。
