Resumo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Knowing about the profile of the Brazilian population covered by private
health plans is very important to guide the National Health Agency policies, the
health insurance companies` action strategies in many ways and how the many
agents involved should stand toward this process. Our purpose is to do this in the
light of the work market situation, taking into account his/her self-reported
morbidity, controlling for the demographical and social-economical variables. We
start by presenting an exploratory study linking health plan owning with these
variables. We then make use of logistic regression models, which have been
adjusted to explain de self-reported morbidity according to the individual`s
position in the job market, controlling for the demographical variables. The same
class of model has also been used as a tool to investigate the existence of
Information Asymmetry in this type of contract. Our results show that
information asymmetry cases are concentrated in some diseases. We could also
find some worker groups very likely to being ill from specific diseases in some
specific regions of the country.
