More active out-of-pocket payment for medical care by wealthy people would allow increasing healthcare funding for deprived groups of the Russian population. The country has objective prerequisites for creating elite medicine. On the other hand, there is a need to develop and approve by law the lists of medical services, provided for free as a part of regional programs of state-guaranteed healthcare, in accordance with regional medico-economic standards. Additionally, it is necessary to provide free access to these services for all citizens, especially the deprived ones.
