Abstract

Health, like education, defense or social protection, represents a field of particular importance, which requires a significant volume of resources, a large amount of services, as well as the entire population as a consumer. The actuality of the article resides in the complexity of the compulsory health care insurance funds, especially in conditions of crisis and financial stress. The aim of the article is to highlight the existing problems in the effective execution of the compulsory health care insurance funds, but also their reconfiguration in the context of the reduction and aging of the population as a demographic indicator, which greatly affects the consumption of medical goods and services. The main results obtained as a result of the investigations, consist in performing a broad diagnosis of the compulsory health care insurance funds, as well as offering practical recommendations for improving the respective process. Regrettably, the uncertainty and financial tension we are in, requires us to find new opportunities to maintain and develop the financing mechanisms of the healthcare system, but also to control costs.
