“…Although this is determined by the interaction of supply and demand, the peculiarities of the market, combined with the fact that there is a deficit of services on the market, which can be confirmed by the presence of queues, suggests that the state, by influencing the supply of services, such as by increasing the number of doctors, directly affects the equilibrium level of consumption. The state determines the interest rate that characterises the level of payments to the mandatory health-insurance funds and participates in the additional financing of the health care system [66]. The increasing role of added funding in the health-care system is partly due to the "stowaway" issue arising from unrestricted access to health-care services regardless of patient contributions.…”

Health care expenditures result in better health servicing, which can strengthen human capital and improve productivity, thereby contributing to economic performance [17].…”

“…Governments are therefore making concerted effort to increase public spending for medical care with the primary goal of enhancing population health [2]. Although there is extensive literature tracking trends and factors influencing public health spending in high-income countries, studies focusing on the drivers of health spending in emerging countries remains relatively scarce [3][4][5]. Following the ground-breaking study of Newhouse [6], the determinants of healthcare expenditure have been categorized into economic and non-economic factors [7].…”
