New challenges are associated with the rapid
advance of profound demographic and
epidemiologic transition.
Over 50 years,
Mexico will
complete an
aging process
that took two
centuries in
most European
countries.
In 2050, one-infour Mexicans
will be 65 or
over – a fourfold increase.

Insurance (and health care)
coverage in Mexico
Contrasts in
health care
and access
All persons, in the United States of Mexico, have
the right to health protection. ART. 4, CONSTITUTION
• Social Security: ~40%
– IMSS: ~30-35%; formal-sector employees and family.
– ISSSTE: ~5-7%; public sector employees and family.
– Others: 3%; workers in specific industries
• Private insurance (first insurer): 1-2%
– with capacity-to-pay; some public and private employees
• Ministry of Health (federal and state): 50+%
– ´residual or ´open´ population without access to social security; poor
– Lowest per capita investment in health
• Seguro Popular: health reform of 2003
• Current coverage: 10 -15%
• LAW: 100% of families without social security by 2010
Reliance on out-of-pocket spending to
finance health systems is inversely related to
GDP: Mexico is an exception at 50%+

3. Separate budgeting and funds for public health
goods with universal coverage.
4. Package of personal health services based on
cost-effectiveness and burden of disease that is
expanding over time.

Conclusions and future research
¾ The level and catastrophic nature of health spending
by families with remittances, and the current situation
of the health system and the reform in Mexico,
suggest an important opportunity – health, equity and
efficiency – for converting OOP into pre-payment
¾Develop specialized, ?integrated?, insurance
products – IMSS, Seguro Popular, private - for
migrants and families
