Voucher Schemes in a Public Insurance Health System: A Profitable Initiative?
Original language description
Healthcare markets are traditionally perceived as arenas characterised by "rationalised" state regulations that aim to fulfil four key goals of healthcare systems: equity, efficiency, effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Due to this fact, both the supply and the demand sides can be regulated. Vouchers schemes can be seen as those instruments stimulating the demand side; the purchasing power is transferred to the client. This article will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of vouchers in healthcare systems with public insurance systems like the Czech Republic, taking into consideration the points of view of the key actors involved.
