The right to social security for diabetes patients

Pravica do socialne varnosti, ki je pravica ustavne kategorije, se v Sloveniji uresničuje prek sistema socialnih zavarovanj, med katera sodita tudi obvezno zdravstveno zavarovanje in zavarovanje za starševsko varstvo. V magistrskem diplomskem delu pravico do socialne varnosti predstavljam z vidika oseb s sladkorno boleznijo. Največ pravic lahko sladkorni bolniki uveljavljajo iz naslova obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja, ki ga urejajo Zakon o zdravstvenem varstvu in zdravstvenem zavarovanju ter Pravila obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja. Sladkorni bolniki lahko večino medicinskih pripomočkov, ki jih potrebujejo za zdravljenje in vodenje sladkorne bolezni, prejmejo v celoti v breme obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja, prav tako so v celoti kriti tudi stroški zdravljenja in rehabilitacije razvitih oblik sladkorne bolezni ter stroški za zdravila s pozitivne liste, ki so potrebna za zdravljenje sladkorne bolezni. Iz naslova obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja lahko osebe s sladkorno boleznijo uveljavljajo še nekatere druge pravice, ki ne pripadajo samo sladkornim bolnikom, ampak so vezana tudi na druga zdravstvena stanja. Družine z otroki, ki so sladkorni bolniki, lahko uveljavljajo nekatere pravice na podlagi zavarovanja za starševsko varstvo prav zaradi sladkorne bolezni otroka, poleg tega pa je družina, v kateri je otrok s sladkorno boleznijo, upravičena tudi do družinskega prejemka - dodatka za nego otroka, ki potrebuje posebno nego in varstvo.The right to social security is a right that falls into constitutional category. In Slovenia it is implemented through a system of social insurances, which, among others, also include obligatory health insurance and parental care insurance. In this master thesis, I present the right to social security from the perspective of people with diabetes. Patients with diabetes can exercise most of their rights on the ground of Health Care and Health Insurance Act and Rules on Compulsory Health Insurance. Diabetes patients can obtain most of medical aids needed for diabetes treatment and handling free of charge and covered in full by obligatory health insurance. The same applies for medical treatment expenses and rehabilitation after developed diabetes forms as well as for the drugs from the so-called positive list that are necessary for diabetes treatment. According to obligatory health insurance, persons with diabetes can additionally exercise certain other rights that do not only apply to patients with diabetes, but relate to other health conditions, too. Families with children who have diabetes can exercise specific rights based on parental health insurance specifically due to diabetes in their children. A family with a child who has diabetes is furthermore entitled to a family allowance, namely, a childcare allowance
