dc.descriptionThe aim of this paper is to investigate the socioeconomic characteristics which affect the healthcare payments in times of economic crisis for Greek economy. National representative data was derived from Hellenic Statistical Observatory proportionally allocated to the regions based on NUTS Eurostat categorization for the period 2009-2015. The results showed that women have higher level of expenditure both on general consumption and healthcare payments, as also, age groups seems to have different preferences and levels of consumption. Furthermore, the most important characteristic was the increasing trend of out-of-pocket payments on healthcare as age rises. We find that both intensity and incidence of catastrophic out-of-pocket payments for healthcare services, in terms of total consumption as well as ability to pay, declined during 2011-2013 period but increased after that time again. The poverty impact of out-of-pocket healthcare payments was primarily due to poor people who were becoming even poorer, rather than the non-poor being made poor. However, as crisis was being deepened, poverty impact was more severe even for richer households.en_US
