应用CHARLS 2011/2013全国基线调查数据,研究我国现行社会养老对老年人医疗消费行为的影响。模糊断点回归结果显示,养老金提高了老年群体的住院医疗服务利用,有效挤入了老年人的医疗服务消费,而且与基本医疗保险存在互补作用;进一步研究证明,养老金对家户医疗消费水平没有显著影响,但是改变了家庭消费结构,增加了个人医疗支出占家户总消费的比例,一定程度上缓解了老年参保群体的家庭医疗开支压力。因此,政府在实现社会保障体系全民覆盖的同时,有必要探索适合我国国情和传统文化的社会养老保障体系,实现养老模式的互补,缓解人口老龄化对基本养老账户和医保基金支付的潜在压力,促进基本养老保险、企业年金和商业保险三大支柱比例的合理化,提高养老保障水平,形成社会养老保险的长效机制。
