UPRAVLjANA KONKURENCIJA NA TRŽIŠTU ZDRAVSTVENE ZAŠTITE

Abstract

The work is dedicated to the so-called model managed competition in the healthcare market. The reason for the creation of this model is the necessity to reduce the high costs burdening many states. Although much was expected from managed competition, the effects did not match to expectations. Additional costs and other shortcomings appeared. The healthcare market is a very specific market that cannot be compared with other markets of goods and of services. Therefore, "the market should not control the right to life, that is, access to health services."
