Firstly, how many people would join the system voluntarily? Secondly, can the system be self-balanced? And thirdly, would the lump-sum tax benefit the rich more than the poor? We build a simple decision model with heterogeneous agents and estimate the preference coefficients and the relative prices of medical goods. Then we compute the implications of CMS and find that if the co-payment ratio is round 50%, the balanced-system can be sustained and the rate of participation would be higher than 90%. Moreover, it is the agents with poorer health condition and lower income that benefit more from CMS. Therefore, our model does not support any of the above three doubts on CMS.精品文档---下载后可任意编辑Keywords...
