Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the financial consequences of the entry into force of the Reimbursement Act in 2012 for the National Health Fund, a payer of public funds, and for individual patients. A greater burden on the society – i.e. an increase in the level of co-payment for medicines – turns out to be integrated in the general tendency that emerges during the economic crisis in many European countries at different levels of socio-economic development.
