“…Although the rules regarding cross-border care still are left to be settled among the member states, and the fact that cross-border care currently comprises only about 1% of member states' total public health care budgets, the directive can be considered a step towards a well-functioning cross-border care system. The scope of cross-border health care has a potential to increase as 65% of Europeans said that they would travel abroad for quicker treatment (Laugesen and Vargas-Bustamante 2010).…”

Abstract:We study how the optimal public provision of health care depends on whether or not individuals have an option to seek publicly financed treatment in other regions. We find that, relative to the first-best solution, the government has an incentive to over-provide health care to low-income individuals. When crossborder health care takes place, this incentive is solely explained by that overprovision facilitates redistribution. The reason why more health care facilitates redistribution is that high-ability individuals mimicking low-ability individuals benefit the least from health care when health and labor supply are complements. Without cross-border health care, higher demand for health care among highincome individuals also contributes to the over-provision given that high-income individuals do not work considerably less than low-income individuals and that the government cannot discriminate between the income groups by giving them different access to health care.

“…Policymakers, healthcare providers and analysts in both the US and Mexico have considered the possibility of implementing diverse bi-national health insurance (BHI) plans to help meet the healthcare needs of Mexican immigrants in the US [14][15][16]. A small number of formal and informal plans are already in operation in the border states of California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico [17].…”

The 12.4 million Mexican migrants in the United States (US) face considerable barriers to access health care, with 45 % of them being uninsured. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) does not address lack of insurance for some immigrants, and the excluded groups are a large proportion of the Mexican-American community. To redress this, innovative forms of health insurance coverage have to be explored. This study analyses factors associated with willingness to pay for cross-border, bi-national health insurance (BHI) among Mexican immigrants in the US. Surveys were administered to 1,335 Mexican migrants in the Mexican Consulate of Los Angeles to assess their health status, healthcare utilization, and willingness to purchase BHI. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of willingness to pay for BHI.Having a job, not having health insurance in the US, and relatives in Mexico attending public health services were significant predictors of willingness to pay for BHI. In addition, individuals identified quality as the most important factor when considering BHI. In spite of the interest for BHI among 54 % of the sampled population, our study concludes that this type of coverage is unlikely to solve access to care challenges due to ACA eligibility among different Mexican immigrant populations.
