Healthcare sustainability. Scenarios up to 2035
The Estonian healthcare system relies on solidarity-based health insurance, in which working-age and healthy people contribute to covering their own medical costs as well as those of other insured people. The services are centrally financed and organised by the Estonian Health Insurance Fund. Two-thirds of healthcare revenues come from social tax paid by working people, who make up about half of all those who have health insurance.
