Has EU economic governance constrained health spending fuelling inequalities, in turn, shaping responses to the pandemic? EU economic governance is often dismissed as ineffective due to its poor track record of compliance. Yet, austerity is blamed for negative health outcomes. I show the EU fiscal rule is a determinant of health by impacting of fiscal policies of European countries. Firstly, the analysis of EU Member States 1995-2018 shows austerity policies impact health spending and health inequalities. Euro area countries under the EU Excessive Deficit Procedure significantly consolidate their health spending. The contractionary effect is concentrated in Southern countries, contributing to rising health inequalities across the core and periphery. Finally, the analysis shows the pandemic implications of health inequalities as periphery countries with a high track record of consolidation display more stringent (and costly) Covid-19 response models. The analysis contributes to understanding the supranational determinants of health in the EU, showing the pervasive spill over effects of the fiscal framework on national health policies.","PeriodicalId":516962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law","volume":"497 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140750186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In November 2020, the European Commission launched the European Health Union (EHU) to better coordinate and maximise EU Member States' abilities to deal with cross-border health threats. This paper scrutinises the early institutionalisation of the EHU and its implications for EU health policy as a political determinant of health (PDoH).\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000The study explores how EU health policy may be appreciated from a PDoH perspective. It draws from EU documents and existing research to analyse the early-stage institutionalisation of the EHU. The study complements this policy output-focused perspective with an outcome-based exploratory assessment of EU health policy as a PDoH focusing on three examples: joint vaccine procurement, health investments under the Recovery and Resilience Facility and the development of a European Health Data Space.\u0000\u0000\u0000FINDINGS\u0000The study shows that the policy change triggered by the EHU and the potential impact on citizens' health are not necessarily congruent: modest change can have a potentially strong impact on health outcomes and vice versa.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000The study argues that the PDoH perspective provides a useful and complementary approach to policy output-based perspectives, allowing for a more comprehensive assessment of the EU's role in health.","PeriodicalId":516962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law","volume":"10 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140748012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Healthcare reforms result in policy outputs that determine provision of medical services, which have consequences for the health of the population. We scrutinize this relationship between health policy outputs and population health, using an original dataset of healthcare reforms passed in 36 European countries from 1989 to 2019. Focusing more specifically on legislative changes implying privatization of healthcare delivery and finance, we ask the following question: What is the relationship between reforms that privatize healthcare provision and population health in terms of health outcomes and inequalities? We answer this question by relying on fixed effects time-series cross-section models. Health outcomes are operationalized using measures of subjective health status, unmet health needs and resulting health inequalities. Our results show that privatization of healthcare is associated with higher rates of bad subjective health and unmet health needs several years after the passing of reforms. These effects are stronger for individuals in the lower tiers of income and education, resulting in higher socio-economic inequalities. The article contributes to conceptualization of the political determinants of health as health policy outputs and a better understanding of the relationship between policy outputs and population health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":516962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law","volume":"295 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140750997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
