Comments on Scenarios for health expenditures in some NMS Markus Schneider
Issues of long-term projections of health care expenditures in NMS • Convergence in health status • Convergence in income • Convergence in health expenditures • Convergence in health financing
(1) Convergence in health status (2004-2050)Life expectancy (AWP/AHEAD)
(1) Convergence in health status (1994-2004)Annual growth of life expectancy, male at birth (Eurostat)
(2) Convergence in income (2005-2050)Annual growth of GDP per capita (AWP/AHEAD)
(3) Convergence in health care (2004-2050)Public Health Expenditures
(3) Convergence in health expenditures (1994-2004)Annual growth of THE as % of GDP (various sources)
(4) Convergence in health financing (2004-2050)Public Health Revenues
Results of AHEAD long-term projections of health care expenditures in NMS • Convergence in health status: yes • Convergence in income: yes • Convergence in health expenditures yes/? • Convergence in health financing no/?
Some conclusions • Make convergence assumptions clear • Make challenges of demographic change clear for change of structure of health care provision • Link expenditures and financing • Introduce covergence activities • Make health status dependent from economic, social, and health care environement
