Abstract: Italian Regions are the accountable entities for healthcare policies: their activity is not limited to policymaking but includes also management and financing of the Healthcare Public Utilities and services.  A first step will be the creation of a dataset of revenues and expenditures of the Healthcare sector. Second, the co-financing policy will be analyzed using comparative grids of in/out-flows of each Region. Third, it will be taken into account the regional fiscal coverage of the balance deficit. The sample is composed by the Italian Regions. Last the analysis between our theoretical approach based on law and the real economic balance. Furthermore it will be analyzed the National and Regional Healthcare System financing (in)-stability, highlighting current cash flows, sources and investments using the “separation†of the Healthcare accounting items in the Balance Sheet. Through chi-square test analysis and method of OLS the group of study look a possible relation be-tween balance and respect of lea without finding a relationship.  Latter, it will be represented an analysis of the National Health Fund allocation to the Regions.  It will be also conducted a critical analysis of the current allocation formula and it will be proposed a simplified criterion of allocation.
