title: The Health Mobility Is All True Mobility? Comment on "Regional Incentives and Patient Cross-border Mobility: Evidence From the Italian Experience".
abstract: In their study, Brenna and Spandonaro analyzed the mobility into Italian regions. In particular, it analyzes the situation of 5 regions, with very different backgrounds. With this paper, we try to better define the meaning of health mobility and to find its underlying causes. Furthermore, we propose a strategy that could help in controlling mobility flows that currently are the source of health inequalities.
