HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM IN SLOVENIA AND PREPARATIONS FOR THE REFORM
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
The healthcare system is integrated in a broader social security system and a certain degree of redistribution and solidarity should be maintained. By doing so, the risk for a continuously decreasing reliance of the people on the principle of universality of healthcare and healthcare rights which may lead to a substantial reduction of readiness and social consensus for redistribution should not be ignored. And this particular consensus itself serves as a mechanism preventing the market principles to prevail in the field of healthcare. It will remain necessary to maintain a delicate balance between social solidarity, equitable access and interests of free enterprise. The healthcare system in the Republic of Slovenia therefore inevitably requires changes and improvements in the institutional, organizational and financial terms. Only with the data supported with and based on sound reform interventions in the social and economic foundations of the system, its organization and financing, improvements may occur in this field. A series of attempts to reform the healthcare policy in the Republic of Slovenia, strategic and planning concepts and related initiatives failed to significantly change the concept as defined in late 1992. Under the leadership of the ruling political option in the Republic of Slovenia the healthcare policies have followed, since the Slovenia's independence, a pattern of reducing the role of the state by transferring different obligations to other - old and new - stakeholders involved in the system.
