520 |a"People who enjoy higher social and economic positions relative to others based on their income, education or occupation tend to be healthier. As such, they generally need and use fewer health care services, resulting in lower health care costs. This report examines health care cost differences between socio-economic status groups in order to estimate what these differences cost the Canadian health care system. This estimate is called the direct economic burden of socio-economic inequalities in health. This report offers the first national-level estimate of the contribution of health inequalities to health care costs. Highlighting the costs of poor health informs Canadians about potential economic gains from improving health and reducing health inequalities by addressing the social, economic and environmental conditions that strongly influence health”--Overview, p. v.
