Abstract
Abstract This article analyzes the sustainability of public health expenditures from the cost perspective of the principle chronic diseases that the Mexican population suffers and the Mexican Government would finance. Also, it pretends to contribute to the discussion of universal effective health coverage in Mexico by providing a micro simulation tool which would evaluate different scenarios about financial costs of universal coverage. As a result, fiscally sustainable proposals can be made based on this micro simulation tool that consider the demographic and epidemiological changes that translate into costs increases. Resumen Este articulo analiza la sostenibilidad del gasto publico en salud, desde la perspectiva del costo de las principales enfermedades cronicas que padece la poblacion mexicana, y que debe cubrir el gobierno federal. Asimismo, pretende abrir la discusion sobre la cobertura efectiva universal de salud en Mexico, a traves de una herramienta de microsimulacion que permita presentar y evaluar diferentes escenarios en cuanto a su costo financiero, para poder hacer propuestas de financiamiento sostenible, principalmente porque se estan enfrentando cambios demograficos y epidemiologicos que conllevan aumentos en los costos de atencion medica.
