我国有九亿多人口生活在农村地区,虽然近些年来农村经济取得了较快发展,但医疗费用的增长速度大大超过农民收入的增长,农民疾病负担加重,就医的经济承受能力下降,家庭成员的一场大病,就可能导致全家贫困,由此因病致贫、因贫致病形成恶性循环。 要解决因病致贫问题,必须首先明了农民就医所担负的经济风险的大小。本文拟运用《农村居民疾病经济风险测定方法探索》一文中介绍的疾病经济风险 There are more than 900 million people living in rural areas in China. Although the rural economy has achieved rapid development in recent years, the rate of increase in medical expenses has greatly exceeded the increase in the income of farmers. The burden of disease on farmers has increased and the affordability of medical care has decreased. Family members A serious illness can lead to poverty for the whole family, which leads to a vicious circle due to illness and poverty. To solve the problem of poverty caused by illness, we must first understand the size of the economic risks that farmers face when they seek medical treatment. This paper intends to use the economic risk of disease described in the article “Exploration of the Measurement of Economic Risks of Rural Residents’ Diseases”.
