National Health Societies in the System of Health Insurance in Poland

Grzegorz Chałupczak



Abstract

In the present study the practical application of the institution of national health societies to the public system of health protection is presented, which is illustrated by the organisational structure of Polish national health societies, especially according to acts from 1920 and 1997. The research yields the analysis of law regulations which govern the nature of the national health societies. It is emphasised that the self-government, which functioned in the Polish health insurance, has not successfully adapted to the changes taking place in the Polish society. The author also underlines the infl uence of the centralization on the foundation of Polish’s social and economic policy. Furthermore, he comes to a conclusion that radically changes of the rules, the forms and the range of social policy have negative infl uence on health insurance system, which should works effectively and which is aimed at the protection of the insured from the disease risk. The author also presents his views on the development of the system of national health societies in Poland.
