Résumé
Cancer imposes a substantial economic burden on society, health and social care systems, patients and their families. This study aims to examine the out-of-pocket spending of cancer patients in their last year of life, in six countries with health insurance system hat have a defined benefits package. Data from SHARE and SHARE End-of-Life surveys among people aged +50 were analysed. Family members of deceased persons were interviewed in order to learn about the circumstances of their relative's death. The average out-of-pocket spending for health and social services during the last year of life was 4.5% of the total household income, 2.2% in the Netherlands, 4.3% in Israel, 5% in Germany, 5.1% in Austria, 5.1% in Belgium and 8.2% in Switzerland. Whereas the out-of-pocket spending on nursing home care was 7.8% of the total household income in Switzerland, in the Netherlands and in Israel it was negligible. In contrast, the out-of-pocket spending for home care due to disability surged to 5.6% in Israel and 3.7% in Austria, whereas in other countries it was very low. This information is important to health and social policymakers, in order to better adapt the benefits package to the patients' needs.
