The economic analysis concerning the European Health care systems provides relevant comparative information about socio economic variables improving public and private shares of health care expenditure. This paper proposes a different approach to learn about relation between the Health care services and the economic systems which is based on the quantification of the impact of the health care services production on total output and income change. Using a multisectoral model and the Macro Multiplier approach, we compare the economic impact of the production of health care services of different types of Health care systems observed in the European countries for year 2005. This type of analysis has the potential to reveal the strength of Health care services to determine the GDP change in several economic systems. In this respect, the paper aims to determine for different socio economic contexts the economic impact of the Health care services in terms of value added and employment changes which occur through the interrelations between the Health care production, the other industrial process and the final demand.
