Ekonomiczne uwarunkowania wykładni prawa do ochrony zdrowia w Konstytucji RP

Abstract

The article presents considerations on the impact of the interpretation of the constitutional right to health protection on the functioning of the public health care system. The issues include the discrepancy between the literal interpretation of the constitutional norm and the interpretation of the Constitutional Tribunal. The inconsistency of the application of a constitutional norm in legislation leads to inequality in accessing health services for some groups of citizens and affects to some extent the financial stability of health providers. To ensure higher efficiency of constitutional norms, it is necessary to analyse their socio-economic preconditions and to reflect on the effects of their introduction into the legal system. Otherwise, a dead law is created, which is interpreted in accordance with the currently applicable lower-level legal acts.
