Abstract

We study public demand for the extension of public health insurance to psychological services. Previous research neglects the interplay of self-interest and ideology to explain individuals’ willingness to pay for public mental health care. Relying on an original survey of the Quebec population, we show that support for the extension of mental health insurance is relatively weak on average, but find constituencies of support among the youth, those without private insurance, those with unmet mental health care needs and among left-wing respondents. Hence, our study contributes to research by mapping the coalitions for and against the extension of public insurance.

魁北克公共精神健康保险的偏好政治

我们研究公众对将公共健康保险扩展到心理服务的需求。先前的研究忽略了自我利益和意识形态的相互作用，以解释个人愿意为公共精神卫生保健付费。根据对魁北克人口的原始调查，我们表明，平均而言，对扩大精神健康保险的支持相对较弱，但在年轻人、没有私人保险的人、精神卫生保健需求未得到满足的人和左翼受访者中发现了支持。因此，我们的研究通过绘制支持和反对公共保险扩展的联盟来促进研究。
