Introductory chapters describe theoretic starting points and principles of functioning of the health insurance system in harmony with existing models of the healthcare policy. The analytical part of the thesis, using qualitative methods of investigation, deals with the development and the current state of the system of the health insurance in the Czech Republic from 1989 and characterizes briefly major problems being encountered and solved. Furthermore, the thesis maps trends of the health insurance in selected OECD countries, showing issues within the structure of healthcare system expenses in countries followed and their influence on the system of the health insurance. The thesis is also informing about present problems on the private health insurance market in OECD countries precisely as described in a study made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
