Health care as a socio-economic category is currently undergoing a number of analytically remarkable changes. In countries like the Czech Republic, where in the past there was a universal health care paid from the government budget, we have seen in the last 20 years the development of differentiated forms of health care with special characteristics. This article aims to show changes in perception of health care as socio-economic category in the context of reforms of health systems. Attention is also paid to the international experience in financing schemes of standard and above standard health care and possible scenarios for future development. The article shows the development phases of health care and new problems that arose in this context.
