The aim: The purpose of the study is to: a) determine the purpose of budget transfers in the field of medicine; b) determine the characteristics that characterize budget transfers in the health sector; c) establish the significance of budget transfers in those jurisdictions in which the system of health insurance operates. Materials and methods: The empirical basis of the study was the Report of the Minister of Health of Singapore, Information on the subvention section for 2019-2020 in Hong Kong, the Budget forecast of the US Congress for 2019, Reports of the Accounts Chamber of Ukraine for 2017, 2018 and 2019. Within the framework of this study, the following special legal methods of scientific knowledge were applied: comparative legal method, a normative-dogmatic method and a logical-legal method. The “case study” method was also widely used in this research. Conclusions: Budget transfers in the field of medicine is a socially important institution of budget law. Budget transfers in the health care sector can be characterized by the following features: a) sectoral nature (health care sector) b) specific budgetary directions (movement of funds from the state to local budgets) c) widespread use (used both in states with medical insurance and in states where the health sector is entirely publicly funded).

Robust Evidence

The conventional wisdom for the health care sector is that idiosyncratic features leave little scope for market forces to allocate consumers to higher performance producers. However, we find robust evidence across several different conditions and performance measures that higher quality hospitals have higher market shares and grow more over time. The relationship between performance and allocation is stronger among patients who have greater scope for hospital choice, suggesting that patient demand plays an important role in allocation. Our findings suggest that health care may have more in common with “traditional” sectors subject to market forces than often assumed. (JEL I11, L25)

This paper analyzes the importance of health care services’ charging applied by hospitals in USA. The subject is examined from financial and sociological perspective. In the first step, US hospitals’ situation is described. After that, a comprehensive literature review on Pricing Theories is presented. In the next step, problems of health care sector are investigated from a sociological perspective. In the third part of the study, pricing applications of hospitals in USA are considered. The paper has shown that strong positioned interest groups in the US health care sector pay much less than the weak positioned. As a result of weak positioning 1.7 million people in 2014 filed for bankruptcy and 35 million people were contacted by agencies for uncovered bills. Furthermore, more than 15 million people spent all their savings to cover medical bills. On the other side, 1.1 trillion USD is spent by US federal and governmental states on health issues. Moreover, hospitals are complaining about underpayment. As a solution proposal to this problem, all actors in U.S. health sector must come together to find solutions to pricing of health care services and regulations required for better organization.
