Abstract Based on the panel data and macro data of China Family Panel Survey (CFPS) from 2010 to 2020, this paper examines the impact of financial health expenditure on residents' burden. The are following findings: (i) From the dimensions of “supplier's subsidy” and “demander's subsidy ”, both expenditures have a significant promoting effect on total medical expenses, which are mainly reflected in hospitalization expenses. In addition, the “demander's subsidy” is conducive to reducing the patient's self-paid medical expense and thus reduce the patient's medical burden, while the “supplier's subsidy” will increase the patient's medical burden; (ii) “strengthening the grass roots” has different negative effects on all kinds of medical expenses; (iii) Each item of financial medical and health expenditure has different effects on medical expenses by increasing the frequency of patients, increasing medical resources and improving the ability of disease prevention and control. The conclusion helps to optimize the structure of financial medical and health expenditure, improve the efficiency of the allocation of medical and health resources, and provide a policy basis for the government to reduce the medical burden of residents.
