Researcher from Prague University of Economics and Business Details Findings in Legal Issues (Participation of Foreigners in Public Health Insurance in the Czech Republic): Legal Issues

2024 APR 30 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health Policy and Law Daily -- Fresh data on agriculture are presented in a new report. According to news originating from Prague, Czech Republic, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “Foreigners from third countries are not entitled to participate in the Czech public health insurance system unless they have either permanent residence in the Czech Republic or a Czech employer.”

The news editors obtained a quote from the research from Prague University of Economics and Business: “This article aims to analyse the economic impact of the possible inclusion of such foreigners into the public health insurance system in the Czech Republic. First, we estimate the size of the group of foreigners concerned and follow with the estimation of contributions paid and the cost involved.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “The analysis is based on publicly available data that entail simplifications. The conducted research shows that the inclusion of foreigners from third countries into the public health system of the Czech Republic would positively impact the economic balance of the system in that the estimated contributions would surpass the estimated costs.”
