It is expected that health care systems affect the level of health in a society which in turn is a basic component of the quality of life. However, it is less clear how to assess such influence. In this short article we focus on Poland and Spain. We outline their health systems and the level of their financing. This is followed by a comparison of some health indicators from Eurostat cross cutting topic: Quality of Life - Health. An argumentation is given that the "self-reported unmet needs for medical examination" could be an unbiased handle to assess an important aspect of the influence of health care systems on the quality of life. Unfortunately, in authors' opinion, information available under this cross cutting topic is not detailed enough for this purpose. (original abstract)
