Increasingly frequent co-payments for medicines, visits to private specialists, due to long queues and more difficult accesss to doctors, and the feeling of not being heard as a patient affect dissatisfaction with the health care system in Slovenia. The question is why we need to pay for public health care if it is becoming profitable activity.
The purpose of the diploma thesis is to present the health care system in Slovenia, and above all to focus on supplementary health insurance. In the theoretical part, with the help of the descriptive method, supplementary health insurance is presented in more detail, how it has developed through history and its key features. Current issues and proposals for reforms of the current system are presented. In the empirical part, the analysis of the questionnaire analyzes the satisfaction of users with supplementary health insurance and whether the price of insurance premiums by gender (male / female) affects the choice of insurance company. We found that the majority of users do not agree with the payment of supplementary health insurance and that it should be abolished. They are dissatisfied with the high prices of insurance premiums and the fact that they are the same for everyone, regardless of an individual's income. They are also bothered by overpayments for medicines and long waiting times. We also found that price by gender does not affect the choice of insurance company. The SWOT matrix shows the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and dangers of supplementary health insurance.
The diploma thesis provides an insight into supplementary health insurance and thus a better understanding of it. So why is there an increase in the price of insurance premiums and a reduction in the scope of rights, and what are the possibilities for changing the current system or abolishing the insurance itself.
