The main task of this thesis is to compare both health systems. Possible recommendations are also suggested that relate to improving the health care financing system in the Czech Republic and the USA. In the theoretical part, basic concepts related to health care and characteristics of health care systems especially the Market and Bismarck systems are presented. The practical part focuses on the two models, which are discussed and then compared according to the expenditures devoted to health care, both private and public, and, last but not least, direct household payments. These indicators are based on data from the OECD and the Czech Statistical Office. The comparison shows that public sources account for the majority of the share of health care financing in the Czech Republic, while in the USA the health care system is more focused on private sources. In addition, the comparison shows that twice as much of GDP is spent on the health system in the USA than in the Czech Republic. Both countries will be faced with the problem of an ageing population and increasing healthcare expenditure in the coming years. |
