What drives health care expenditure?
Health care expenditure
Demography Income Residual
Relative prices
Technology Institutions and policies
An income elasticity of 1.8
could explain most of the
expenditure growth
If price elasticity is low then price effect
on expenditures could be important

More competition will
improve value for money
More patient choice will
transform health care
More co-payments
will reduce waste
Spending more on
prevention will save
us money in the long
run
Regulating technology is a means
of reducing spending
Five common myths about health policies
![Page 7: Fiscal Challenges of Health Care - OECD - Health care - G. VAN... · 2016-03-29 · Fiscal Challenges of Health Care 9th Annual Meeting of OECD-Asian Senior Budget Officials Bangkok,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4352470afba761ca2c037c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Myth 1: More competition will
decrease health costs
More co-payments
will reduce waste
Spending more on
prevention will save
us money in the long
run
Regulating technology
is a means of reducing
spending
More patient choice will

Competition in which market?
Evidence from competition in insurance
• No evidence that insurance competition drives down costs:
– Why would it? Risk adjustment, set benefits, group contracting… What scope is there?
– Market concentration
![Page 9: Fiscal Challenges of Health Care - OECD - Health care - G. VAN... · 2016-03-29 · Fiscal Challenges of Health Care 9th Annual Meeting of OECD-Asian Senior Budget Officials Bangkok,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4352470afba761ca2c037c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Competition in provision
Conditions for market incentives to work for core services:
1. Financial support rewards more efficiency
2. Selective contracting possible
3. Feasible alternative suppliers with capacity
4. Information available, especially quality
![Page 10: Fiscal Challenges of Health Care - OECD - Health care - G. VAN... · 2016-03-29 · Fiscal Challenges of Health Care 9th Annual Meeting of OECD-Asian Senior Budget Officials Bangkok,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4352470afba761ca2c037c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• MYTH: More competition will decrease health costs
• REALITY: Competition in provision might increase efficiency; competition in insurance won’t.

Myth 2: More patient choice will
make providers compete on quality
More co-payments
will reduce waste
Spending more on
prevention will save
us money in the long
run
Regulating technology
is a means of reducing
spending
Competition in provision might
increase efficiency;
competition in insurance won’t.

Conditions for patient choice to
make a difference
patients act as informed
consumers
GPs act as agents of choice
providers respond to
market signals

– Sweden
– UK.
• COUNTRIES WITH CHOICE INTRODUCING GATEKEEPING
– France
– Germany
– US (HMOs/Medical Homes)

Myth 4: ‘more co-payments will reduce
waste’
• More than 130 studies of the impact of copayments on drug consumption:
– Reduce consumption of non-essential medicines
– But also reduces consumption of essential medicines
– No convincing evidence on long-term health effects
– Effects on spending are at best temporary
• Studies on other types of care (consultations, use of emergency services…)
– Reduction in usage, but often only temporarily
– Substitution towards other type of care – but often not evaluated
– No convincing evidence of effects on spending

The 5 realities: Health is
complicated…
Co-payments shift
spending, but
probably don’t
reduce it
HTAs have increased
health, increased value
for money, but also
increased spending
Competition in provision might
increase efficiency;
competition in insurance won’t.
Patient choice is
valued, but does not
promote efficiency
Prevention spending is cost-
effective, not cost reducing.

Joint OECD Health Sustainability Network
• The OECD has recently launched a Joint Network
bringing together finance officials from health ministries
and budget examiners responsible for health care
expenditure.
• This Joint Network responds to the growing recognition
that improved dialogue and concerted action is needed
among these communities in order to better understand
and manage rapidly growing health expenditures.
• Interest in launching such a Joint Network in the Asian
region as part of Asian SBO.

Benefits for SBO
• A new approach to addressing ‘intractable’ fiscal sustainability challenges, e.g. improving expenditure management, aligning cost control incentives
• Practical (rather than academic) focus: case studies, what has worked and why?
• Institutional perspective: inter-ministerial dialogue & co-operation; health systems characteristics survey
• Better use of data & analysis: health accounts, value for money evaluations, public expenditure reviews, fiscal projections, health expenditures drivers
