Health is becoming more and more important for economic development, competitiveness and productivity, and therefore countries strive to make their health systems as good and efficient as possible. Health care systems represent a very broad and complex area. It also intertwines the roles of patients, health care providers, payers, regulators, government and the lay public. In the last decade, demographic and technological changes have been the main reason why most countries in the world, as well Slovenia, face the issue of health financing and the financial sustainability of health care systems. Success of financing each health care is reflected in the collection of sufficient financial resources. Slovenia, will face a reduction of the working age population, which represents the main contributors to the health and pension insurance system, and the increase in expenditure, related to the aging of the population. Slovenia needs to find new, sufficient and stable sources for financing health care. This will be achieved through radical reforms that have been unsuccessful or unproven so far. According to foreign and domestic expert’s opinion in this field, Slovenia has, for now, still sustainable health financing. The funding system is good both in terms of fairness and accessibility, however, continuing with the same social protection system, will become unsustainable. |
