Abstract
Given the strong link existing between the public administration’s capacity to guarantee public services and its financial resources, the article deals with the financing of the health care service in Italy.
More in detail, the paper analyses how the funding of this service has changed in time, from the All. C. of the L. 20 march 1865 n. 2248 to nowadays.
In so doing, the article pays particular attention to the influence that some events – such as the Italian constitutional reform of 2001 or the recent financial crisis – have had on the way in which the financing of the health care service has been carried out.
