摘要

摘要本文研究了供给侧扭曲和由包含全民健康保险(UHI)计划的提供者侧成本导致的后果。提出了内生医生专业选择的两部门重叠代模型。我们发现，如果医疗服务的质量不恶化太多，一般公众有可能从控制全民医保的成本中受益。然而，医疗服务部门的医生却受到这种制度的影响，最终收入较低，无论他们的专业和才能如何。医生之间的不平等也在加剧。

Winners and Losers of Universal Health Insurance: A Macroeconomic Analysis

Abstract This paper studies the supply-side distortions and the consequences resulted from provider-side cost containing universal health insurance (UHI) scheme. A two-sector overlapping generations model of endogenous physicians’ specialty choice is presented. We find that the general public is possible to be benefited from the cost containing UHI if the quality of medical services does not deteriorate too much. However, physicians in the medical service sector suffer from such scheme and end up earning lower incomes, regardless of one’s specialty and talent. Inequality among physicians also increases.
