Oligopolios Mixtos y Privatización: Sistema Sanitario Español y Análisis Comparativo

Abstract

[Resumen]: En los últimos años, y en especial desde el estallido de la última crisis y el auge de las teorías neoliberales, ha surgido un debate acerca de las ventajas y desventajas de la privatización de empresas públicas y sus efectos sobre el bienestar de los países. El objetivo del presente trabajo es contribuir a clarificar este debate por dos vías: en primer lugar, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura existente sobre el tema de la privatización y los oligopolios mixtos; y en segundo lugar, al objeto de comprobar la teoría, se ha realizado un análisis de los principales problemas del sector sanitario español y de los efectos relativos a la privatización del sector. Para ello, se ha realizado una comparación entre los sistemas sanitarios de Estados Unidos, Cuba, y España como representaciones de modelos sanitarios privado, público y mixto, respectivamente. La opción más adecuada cuando la empresa pública presenta ineficiencias y la producción del mercado puede ser cubierta por las empresas privadas es la privatización, desde el punto de vista de las teorías neoliberales (circunstancias que se dan en el sistema sanitario español). Sin embargo, en la práctica, un sistema privado no es necesariamente mejor que uno público. La conclusión fundamental es que, dadas las características del sistema sanitario español, la estructura de mercado que debería seguirse es la de oligopolio mixto, en la que las empresas privadas compiten con las públicas.

[Abstract]: In the last years, especially since the outbreak of the latest crisis and the rise of neoliberal theories, a debate about the pros and cons of privatization of public enterprises and their effects on the welfare of countries has emerged. The aim of this work is to clarify this debate in two ways: firstly, it contains the review of the existing literature on the issue of privatization and mixed oligopolies; and secondly, in order to test the theory, it includes an analysis of both the main problems of the Spanish health sector and the economic effects related to the privatization of the sector. To this end, a comparison was made between the health systems of the United States, Cuba, and Spain as examples of private health models, public and mixed, respectively. The most appropriate option when the public firm presents inefficiencies and market production may be covered by private firms is privatization, from the point of view of neoliberal theories (circumstances that exist in the Spanish health system). However, in practice, a private system is not necessarily better than a public one. The main conclusion of this study is that, given the characteristics of the Spanish healthcare system, mixed oligopoly market structure, in which private firms compete with public firms, is probably the best option.
