Abstract

The Romanian health care system has been changed and reformed over the past decades with the declared objective of providing quality services for all citizens. However, the results have been more than modest and health indicators for Romanian population place among the last in the European Union. This papers summarizes the evolution of some of the best health care systems in Europe and in the world and emphasizes how some of the most simple and feasible actions that Romanian policymakers could have implemented as a lesson learned from these countries turned out to be just some random changes in the system which did not generate the expected results (lower expenditure on health, more income for the health sector, less unnecessary use of public health services, better coverage for the population), but only added more disorder and dissatisfaction to the system.
