Summary/Abstract: A decisive majority of Poles is in favor of bringing competition into the healthcare system and introducing private health funds that would compete against the National Health Fund. The level of support did not fall below 60 pct., regardless of socio-demographic fac- tors. A mere 10pct of the surveyed thought otherwise. At the same time almost half of the respondents is convinced that privatizing public healthcare providers will limit access to their services. This view is less common among people with higher level of education and monthly earnings over PLN700 per person in a household.
