This research aims to measure inequity in the Thai elderly health care system during different periods of unstable economic growth, in the 1990s. The concentration index, especially indirect standardized approaches, was used to measure the magnitude of inequalities in morbidity and horizontal inequities in health care utilization (OPD and IPD visits). Secondary data of the health and welfare survey (HWS) conducted by the NSO were the main source of data used in the analysis. Most studies have found that significant chronic morbidity is concentrated in the elderly living with lower household incomes. Income-related inequalities remain all the time, but in the period after the economic crisis they were relatively least. All study periods also found significant pro-poor (rich) inequity in health care utilization at health centers and community hospitals (provincial hospitals and private facilities). This evidence was more pronounced in the period after the economic crisis. The impact of free services through public health insurance slightly reduced the magnitude of inequity compared with the impact of regional and area differences.
