“…Studies tend to show that higher income and education are associated with a greater likelihood of specialist physician service use, but not always with use of primary physicians, and people with lower income may be making more use of hospital services but not necessarily surgical services (e.g., Dunlop et al 2000;Manga et al 1987;Roos and Mustard 1997;Veugelers and Yip 2003;McIsaac et al 1997;Roos et al 2004). However, others find income is neither relevant in physician (Finkelstein 2001) nor hospital care (Asada and Kephart 2007).…”

“…A growing body of research evidence indicates that use of hospital services in Canada is generally consistent with relative need across income groups (e.g., Manga et al 1987;van Doorslaer and Masseria 2004;Allin 2006). Some studies (van Doorslaer and Masseria 2004;Allin 2006) show greater use of hospital services by those with lower income after controlling for healthcare needperhaps calling into question the adequacy of existing measures of need.…”

“…Estudios realizados en otros países con cobertura universal de la asistencia sanitaria tampoco han encontrado diferencias socioeconómicas en la utilización de estos servicios 4,6,7,25,26,29 . Posiblemente, en los sistemas sanitarios universales, la hospitalización, al contrario que la consulta al médico general, dependa de la gravedad de los problemas de salud y quizá, por esa razón, no se encuentren diferencias socioeconómicas en el uso de este servicio de salud.…”

“…En los países europeo-occidentales, caracterizados por Estados del Bienestar altamente desarrollados, en los que existe cobertura de la asistencia sanitaria pública, las instituciones públicas garantizan el derecho social «a la protección de la salud». En este sentido, investigaciones realizadas acerca de la accesibilidad y utilización del sistema sanitario reflejan que, aunque se ha logrado alcanzar una utilización similar de los servicios de atención primaria y hospitalaria por parte de distintos grupos socioeconómicos, todavía persisten diferencias en el uso de los servicios preventivos [6][7][8][9][10][11] .…”
