Ubezpieczenie zdrowotne rolników
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2012) Puślecki, Damian
The paper aims to determine whether the protective character of the existing system of farmers’ health insurance in Poland should be preserved, and if, to what extent. It is shown that the condition of Polish agriculture today does not justify the maintenance of a fully protective system of health insurance, and that there is a need to create a system based on a new financing model, which would involve a higher degree of contributions on the part of the insured farmers. At the same time, however, it seems obvious that adequate health protection of the insured will not be guarantied without financial assistance from the state budget. Taking into account social justice, social self-assistance and the ideas of inter-group solidarity, state support should be directed predominantly to farmers of lesser means.
