Abstract
En este trabajo se analizó la cobertura de seguro de salud de la población argentina entre los años 2001 y 2014. Para el análisis se utilizaron como fuentes de datos el Censo Nacional de Población y Vivienda 2001 y 2010, las Encuestas Permanentes de Hogares del período 2010-2014 y la Encuesta Nacional de Gastos de los Hogares del año 2012. Se construyeron indicadores de cobertura de seguro en la población siguiendo la propuesta de Sherri et al. (2012) y finalmente se definió un modelo multivariado para identificar los factores asociados con la cobertura de seguro en la población. Los resultados evidencian que, si bien la cobertura de seguro de salud en el período 2001-2014 se fue incrementando, en el año 2014 aún persistían sin cobertura el 30% de la población en los aglomerados urbanos y el 50% de las personas en todo el país. Se puede concluir que existen diferenciales relacionados a factores geográficos y a factores sociales respecto de la cobertura de seguro de salud.
This paper aims to analyze the health insurance coverage of Argentina's population between 2001 and 2014. For analysis were used the data included in the National Population and Housing Census 2001 and 2010, the Permanent Household Surveys 2010-2014 and the National Survey of Household Expenditure 2012. Indicators of insurance coverage of the population were constructed following the proposal of Sherri et al. (2012) and finally a multivariate model was defined to identify associated factors with insurance coverage of the population. The results show that although the health insurance coverage in the period 2001-2014 was increased, in 2014 still persisted without cover 30% of the population in urban areas and 50% of people around the country. It can be concluded that there are differential related to geographical factors and social factors on coverage of health insurance.
