Zusammenfassung
High expectations and increasing needs of citizens have influenced a relatively high share of private expenditure in total health expenditure (28% in 2014) which is double the EU average (14%). There is a high level of inequality of public expenditure in health sector among the cantons by insured person in FBiH (from 453 KM to 875 KM), given that revenues from the employees’ contributions “return” to the canton they were collected in. High dependence of this system on the contributions from the employed is not an optimal solution for BiH taking into account a low employment rate and population aging process. It should be further stressed that the contributions are relatively “regressive” manner of healthcare financing (they cause more inequality among the overall population), as they do not tax other types of revenues that are mostly earned by wealthier parts of population, such as, for instance, profit, dividend, or property income.
