The Case Law of the European Court of Justice on the Mobility of Patients: An Assessment

Abstract

This means that I shall not deal with other interesting issues such as the free movement of health care providers, with the other free movement rules relevant to health policy (for example, the free movement of pharmaceutical products or the freedom of establishment), and with the influence of the competition rules on health care. In all these issues, it seems to me, health is secondary or at most as important as the underlying economic interests. In the cases about the free movement of patients, in contrast, health and the liberty of individuals to receive treatment where they prefer are the main concern and the economic issues seem to be secondary. This is the reason for the specificity of the case law on the mobility of patients, and also what makes it so unusual, problematic and interesting. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
