| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par ORSRA EzdqR0xO. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Income redistribution is one of the traditional arguments in favour of public provision of health insurance. This instrument is theoretically justified by population targeting, through the negative correlation between income and morbidity. This paper explores the consequences of the correlation between income and mortality on health insurance progressivity. In a life-cycle analysis, differential mortality reduces the intragenerational redistribution, given some reasonable profiles on health consumption and contributions. The validity of this proposition is tested by an empirical study of the link between permanent income opportunities and male mortality in France, based on a case-control study constructed with fiscal data. Our results suggest that the strong social inequality of mortality in France limits the lifetime redistributive impact of health insurance. (résumé d'auteur). |
