Addressing inequity in health and health care in Mexico.
Despite the fact that life expectancy at birth in Mexico has improved from forty-two years in 1940 to seventy-three in 2000, major inequalities persist in health and access to health care. The Mexican health care system has evolved into a series of disjointed subsystems that are incapable of delivering universal health insurance. Without greatly restructuring the way health care is financed, pe...
متن کاملAddressing the inequity of capitation by variable soft contracts.
In the search for greater efficiency and cost-containment, many health systems have introduced the practice of medical care providers operating under a fixed budget, often referred to as the capitation or fundholding contract. Although the capitation contract seems equitable at first glance, the sequential decision-making practice of providers-shaped by their rate of present-preference and thei...

متن کاملMathematical Variables as Indigenous Concepts
This paper explores the semiotic status of algebraic variables. To do that we build on a structuralist and post-structuralist train of thought going from Mauss and Lévi-Strauss to Baudrillard and Derrida. We import these authors’ semiotic thinking from the register of indigenous concepts (such as mana), and apply it to the register of algebra via a concrete case study of generating functions. T...
متن کاملEducation-related inequity in healthcare with heterogeneous reporting of health.
Reliance on self-rated health to proxy medical need can bias estimation of education-related inequity in healthcare utilization. We correct this bias both by instrumenting self-rated health with objective health indicators and by purging self-rated health of reporting heterogeneity that is identified from health vignettes. Using data on elderly Europeans, we find that instrumenting self-rated h...
