Mean of median of out of pocket proportion health care. cost per household"s income was 0.57±0.03 and 0.66 respectively. 13% of total income expended HEALTH CARE COST through out of pocket. This proportion in highest and lowest income decile was 7% and 28% (P<0.05). Gini coefficient of HEALTH CARE COST and out of pocket cost per total household income were 0.22 and 0.18 respectively. Conclusion: Low income households expended almost 40% of their income in order to purchasing of health care, in comparison to richest households, they spent 9% of total income.
