[Is the criminalization of informal payment a good idea? The role of the free choice of physician in the elimination of the phenomenon].

In Hungary, the new act on the employment status of health workers aims at the elimination of informal payments by the strict separation of public and private care, by a significant increase of the salary of medical doctors and with the criminalization of giving and accepting informal payments. In this study, which is based on our former research, an analysis of the Hungarian judicial practice and an internet research focused on obstetrics, we examine whether the chosen tools are appropriate to achieve this goal, and if not, how the provisions of law should be modified. Both the theoretical considerations and the empirical evidence suggest that the approach the act took is wrong, because the majority of patients are not paying to compensate the doctors for their low salary.
