The purpose of master's thesis is to present the system of financing health care in Slovenia and to compare how the health systems operate in Austria, Estonia, the Czech Republic and Finland. I want to find out the similarities between financing health systems in those countries and how much of health care in these countries is on average publicly funded. I also want to determine whether compulsory health insurance by the state covers basic essential health care and treatment. I achive the objectives within the framework of the task by justifying the four hypotheses set. The research is based on an independent analysis, based on the obtained data from the sources and literature. For writing, I use an analytical and descriptive research approach. I find that the Slovenian healthcare system is not as favorable and comprehensive as it can be detected. Compared to the selected countries, contributions to health insurance are very high. The largest proportion of health care is deducted from the employee, while everywhere else the highest share is taken from the employer. The coverage of compulsory health insurance in Slovenia is extensive, but only the framework services that need to be complemented by voluntary health insurance. In selected countries, compulsory insurance offers a wider range of services and the voluntary part actually covers only additional services. From the point of view of its usefulness, I would like to the profession with a framework analysis of the financing of public health in Slovenia in comparison with selected countries. I want to explore the various ways in which the health system works in different countries and to examine their value of insurance coverage for the individual - both in terms of value and quantity in terms of offered services.
