Konvalinka, Lukáš ; Kobliha, Pavel (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
The aims of this bachelor's thesis is to analyse the health care reform in the United States from the year 2010 and to answer the following questions, which also represented the objectives of the reform. Did the Affordable Care Act help to reduce the percentage of residents without health insurance? Did the health insurance become more affordable? Did the act contribute to the reduction of the health care expenditure? After answering these questions I should be able to determine to what extent where the objectives fullfiled. The theoretical part of this work is dedicated to the character of the health care system in the United States and problems related to that, which led to the need to reform the current system. Further, the attention is being paid to the Affordable Care Act. In the practical part the data of chosen indicators are being observed. The main indicators are the percentage of the residents without the health insurance, the price of the health insurance and the total health expenditure. Hopefully, I will be able to find a long run trend of chosen indicators from the database in the period before the reform, which can be compared with the indicators' development after the reform.

Effects and costs of economic-social model in the EU and USA
Štaudová, Kateřina ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Tunkrová, Věra (referee)
Social capitalism exists in several different types. Socio-economic models vary across Europe, where we can find five such models. Scandinavian model is typical for northern countries, in Great Britain and other Anglo-Saxon states the liberal model is used, conservative model is applicable to most countries of continental Europe and the Southern model is used by Mediterranean states such as Greece, Italy, Portuguese and Spain. The most significant difference between the socio-economic models is the way of how the state intervenes into the economy, whether it is the intervention to the tax level, to the system of transfer payments or the regulation of the labor market. These differences produce various results in the field of performance of every economy. The most successful seems to be the Scandinavian model, typical for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The health care reform, which has now started in the United States, should move the liberal model of the USA closer to being a welfare state.
