Summary/Abstract: The present government is preparing a major reform of the healthcare system. Currently, Poland has an insurance-based health care model. The payer is the National Health Fund. In 2018, the insurancebased model will be replaced by a budget (tax)-based model. Health care will be financed by the state budget and will be available to everyone. Changing the model of the health care system is a return to the times of the Polish People’s Republic. The article presents possible European models of health care and the current Polish model. The article includes selected critical comments regarding the planned change of the health care model in Poland. The comments relate to, among others, access to services and their financing.
