In Europe, many people experience financial hardship due to healthcare payments, despite (near- )universal healthcare. In Finland and other countries, austerity has further widened the gaps in coverage through increases in patient payments. However, distributional analyses of austerity have solely concentrated on the effects of tax- benefit policies. We present a method for examining how health payment policies and tax- benefit policies affect household income in conjunction to evaluate the total effect of implemented and planned policies. We linked the national tax- benefit microsimulation model, SISU

This paper describes the development and operation of the SWITCH model, a tax-benefit microsimulation model for Ireland which is linked to survey and register data. SWITCH is based on the EUROMOD platform but has important advantages over the Irish component of EUROMOD, including a “current income” concept, detailed information on benefit receipt in the underlying data and the modelling of non- cash benefits. We discuss the process of creating an input dataset, including reweighting and uprating. We validate the model’s simulation of the income distribution with respect to a range of external sources and suggest future improvements
