Analýza zdravotních systémů České republiky a Spojených států amerických v letech 2007-2017

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the health systems of the Czech Republic and the United States with regard to the development of social and economic indicators between 2007–2017.The topic of this bachelor thesis is very topical from the economic point of view because of the increasing costs of healthcare. The lack of transparency of the management of health insurance companies raises further questions on the quality of Czech healthcare. For this reason, I see the advantage of comparing it to a completely different type of healthcare that is currently operating in the United States and is ranked among the leading health systems compared to other countries.The theoretical part defines the terms and economic theories needed to understand the issues of health policy. Furthermore, there is a literature review concerning healthcare, health systems and their financing.The practical part analyzes individual health systems, their important reforms, and selected social and economic indicators, which are then compared. The results show both pros and cons of both health systems, which is why it is not possible to clearly identify which is more economically advantageous. In the Czech healthcare sector we encounter the problem of an aging population and corruption related to health insurance companies. The US healthcare can be seen as high-quality, but financially demanding with lack of accessibility to the whole population.
