| Résumé : | We use data from two independent large cross-sections of the Canadian population, the Canadian Communities Health Survey for 2000-01 and 2005 to estimate income-related inequity in health and health care use. We apply the Horizontal Inequity Index to self-assessed health and self-reported visits to a family doctor, a specialist, and a dentist, as well as the number of nights in hospital as our measures of utilization. Beside self-reports in the survey we use administrative data on a sub-sample (in Ontario) to measure the money value of services used and include day procedures, that are typically not measured through self-reports. We find pro-rich inequity in health as well as strong pro-rich inequity in the utilization of specialist and dental care services. The poor use more inpatient services, and the total value of physician and hospital services is income-neutral in Ontario. Income-related inequities in health and health care utilization did not change in Canada between 2000 and 2005 |
