基于居民经济承受能力的医疗费用控制标准的论证分析-demonstration and analysis of medical expense control standards based on residents economic affordability.docx

that changed the initial log expression into inverse function expression to make it conform to the data distribution. (3) The residents’ surplus (Income-expenses) curve is consistent with the ELES on definition the residents’ affordability for medicine. The equilibrium intersection has little variations between different economic development areas. (4) The control standard has a higher consistency with the residents’ psychological endurance. The equilibrium intersection is sensitive to reflect the urban-rural difference. The people before the equilibrium intersection have higher incidence of catastrophic health expenditure than people behind the intersection, but have lower utilization of health services and health level.Conclusions: (1) “Medical expenditure control Standard based on residents’ affordability” has secure theory basis. It conforms to the equilibrium theory that in the economics and accurately reflects the residents’ economic affordability. (2) The fitting method used to build the equilibrium model are correct. The fitting result is credible.(3) The surplus (Income-expenses) curve has accurately reflects the residents’ affordability for medicine .(4) The equilibrium point is of stability (5) The medical expenditure control standard has a higher consistency with the residents’ psychological endurance. It also can be accepted by the lowest income groups. (6) The equilibrium point is of distinguishability. It is sensitive to distinguish the difference between urban and rural areas. (7)The equilibrium point has accurately distinguished the difference of incidence of catastrophic health expenditure and use of health service between the residents before and after it. (8) The indicators used to build the equilibrium model are available. The method of building the equilibrium relationship curves is simple.In a word, this research suggests that the “Medical expenditure control Standard based on residents’ affordability” that put forward by professor zheng is co
