This study mainly discusses whether the ratio of medical expenditures of the
counties can reduce the mortality. The empirical results show that the higher the
proportion of medical expenditures to government expenditures, the higher the
mortality rate in the county. This conclusion is contrary to the expected result.
However, the reason is because the county with insufficient medical resources such
as local or outlying islands is more dependent on the assistance of government
medical expenditure. Therefore, the higher ratio of medical expenditure does not
mean that there are more medical resources. This study uses the number of people
serviced by each medical institution to represent the distribution of medical
resources in counties. We find that counties with more medical resources have lower
mortality rate.
Key Words: Medical Expenditure, Mortality, Number of People
