title: [Medicine and health care].
abstract: Recently the importance of the infrastructure in which the medicine acts is rapidly developing. The health care system is a new science and practice due to the responsibility of the modern state about the health status of the citizens. At the same time the informatical epoch caused the rapid development of the diagnostically and therapeutically tools with the price explosion of the health provision. The slope of the health expenditure increase is steeper, than the slope of the GDP. The gap between the medical possibilities and economical constrains are deepening. This is the main indication of the wanted health care reforms. One of the possible solution is the partial introduction of the private health insurance. The financial constrains may inhibit the liberty of medical activity and to facilitate the dominance of the economic aspects in the health provision.
