VOLUNTARY HEALTH INSURANCE AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF SOLUTIONS IN CHOSEN COUNTRIES’ SYSTEMS
Abstract
The common health insurance system imposes a duty of insuring a number of varied entities.
However, in the method of listing entities that are obliged to take out insurance some social groups
were left out. This was certainly the intention o f the legislator because although the insurance is
called „common”, health insurance originates mainly from workers’ insurance, addressed primarily
to impecunious hired workers. With a view to encompassing more and more social groups with
the benevolence of health insurance, the legislator has been expanding the list o f entities obliged
to take out health insurance, granting all the others the right for voluntary insurance.
This article, whose subject has not yet been dealt with in Polish literature, attempts to evaluate
the Common Health Insurance Act of 6th February 1997, which allows the possibility of voluntary
health insurance. The author’s appraisal of the legislation is preceded by an account of relevant
regulations in Germany, Austria, and Great Britain, all fully representative of the different types
of health insurance systems.
