Abstract: The monitoring of the public health system, of patients, can be effective through a careful contribution of family doctors, who have the major goal of preventing communicable diseases on the one hand, and chronic diseases on the other, through a transparent assessment made through the patient file, completed by computer, simply called "corona form". We thus understand that the role of the National Health Insurance House is to provide the settlement sent by the family doctors, automatically and completely (through SIU). This is how it can be explained, the important role of family doctors, which is reflected through a simplified and direct balance, doctors-patients-providers of medical services, respectively the National House of Health Insurance. Will this be a reason to choose a public health system or a private one? The legislation established for the introduction of co-payment must become a legal framework of ease in the health system, so that all insured persons can identify their own system of medical services, used both from a financial point of view, but also necessary. Any health system must be identified by universal access of the entire population to medical services, state or private, to benefit from quality and efficient medical services, to have equity for all members of society, regardless of age, sex, religion, social status, who may have the financial ability to pay. Solidarity in the health system remains in fact the principle that must characterize a healthy system, for society regardless of social, economic, political, demographic problems. Overall, we must consider that the health system with diversified funding ensures the safety of any patient, with care based on both evidence and from an ethical point of view, confidential and with transparent compensation possibilities, avoiding possible cases of malpractice.
