Resumen

MACIAS SANCHEZ, Alejandra  y  VILLARREAL PAEZ, Héctor Juan. Public Spending Sustainability: Coverage and Financing of Chronic Diseases in Mexico. Ens. Rev. econ. [online]. 2018, vol.37, n.1, pp.99-133. ISSN 2448-8402.

This article analyzes the sustainability of public health expenditures from the cost perspective of the principle chronic diseases that the Mexican population suffers and the Mexican Government would finance. Also, it pretends to contribute to the discussion of universal effective health coverage in Mexico by providing a micro simulation tool which would evaluate different scenarios about financial costs of universal coverage. As a result, fiscally sustainable proposals can be made based on this microsimulation tool that consider the demographic and epidemiological changes that translate into costs increases.

Palabras llave : Public health spending; Simulation models; Chronic diseases; Demographic transition; Epidemiological changes; Fiscal sustainability.
