Economic substantiation of the need for redistribution of financial obligations in healthcare sector

On the basis of the analysis of the theory of choice and the law of diminishing of marginal utility of health services the need and opportunity of redistribution of financial obligations in healthcare sector are identified, the advantages and disadvantages of involving the private sector to co-finance the provision of medical services are presented. The limited public resources allocated to the financing of the national health care system, determine the need for choice in their allocation, taking into account the factors of equity and efficiency. The authors consider the problem of choosing between equity and efficiency in healthcare sector, and present the curve of the total capacity of the state and private producers of medical services. The study of state and market failures allows to formulate conclusions that limited resources determine the attracting of the private sector to co-finance the health care system to improve the financing of the sector, with the existence of the public sector.
