he hereby work plans on analysing to what extent the life expectancy is subject to the influence by different markers, like: GDP, the percentage of GDP allocated for the health system, as well as the income level in Romania and Ukraine. We consider that a comparative analysis between the two countries is representative since, as it results from the data and the diagrams presented within the work, both the GDP evolution and the percentage allocated from GDP for the health system reveal a different evolution, ranging in both countries, unlike the life expectancy going through an ascending trend, slow for both cases. Partially considering the specialized literature in use, our attention was drawn towards the evolution of the income obtained by the people. More precisely, commencing from Keynes’ Basic Psychological Law stipulating that along with the income growth the expenditure on health, education and training the human resource will increase, we have chosen to econometrically test these theories for Romania and Ukraine. Therefore, we would like to research, using a simple linear regression model, whether the income growth, which represents the independent variable, obtained by the people, has a significant contribution in life expectancy (the dependent variable) increase in Romania, as well as in Ukraine.

Changes in health system financing and delivery have the potential to save thousands of lives and billions of dollars. The overarching value system embedded in these new models for payment is a rough utilitarianism with origins in economic analysis. These models use financial incentives to change the behavior of physicians, hospitals, and patients. In addition, many of these policy approaches are also based in other normative approaches to medical care with links to liberal economic theory. While these utilitarian-based innovations in insurance and payment policy have often proven to improve access and quality of care in the aggregate, they have frequently been shown to have less benefit or even cause harm to vulnerable populations. This chapter demonstrates how improvements in quality of care frequently have the unintended consequence of widening disparities, either because the populations who had the worst outcomes to start with are more difficult to reach with improved-care models, or because the mechanisms designed to increase access and quality actually destabilize institutions that have long served the poor. As health reforms are implemented, attention to their impact on poor patients and the institutions that serve them will be essential.
