The growing question to health care providers worldwide is how can we achieve better healthcare accessible to all, without threatening the sustainability of systems and services? Present economic crisis has resulted in an increasing number of unemployed people. Most of them are middle aged, and capable to work. Because of their financial difficulties, their concerns about health are minimized with consequences on health status. The aim of the present study is to point out the current situation and difficulties with health care use of unemployed population according to their health status that could result with more extensive problems in the future. Design: The study was performed using the questionnaires that include variables regarding the health determinants, disabilities, life style, various elements of equity and fairness in the use of health care, personal characteristics (e.g. sense of happiness, control over their own lives, and optimism), social cohesion elements, and socio-economic determinants. Settings: Data were collected by structural questionnaires completed during interviews in subjects’ home by patronage nurses. Participants: The research was conducted on a 1043 unemployed respondents of both genders (633 female and 401 male), that belong to working capable population. Results: Over 50% of respondents stated that their health conditions are a limiting factor in their daily schedule and activities. A great proportion of participants reported high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high glucose level as possible health risk factors. Beside that, they reported great number of other medical conditions. Further, a great proportion of respondents declare rare use of preventive medical examinations. Over 40% of them have had one or no visit to the doctor during the past year, 57.7% of respondents declared that have never visited the dentist, and a Pap test was done by only 29.4% of women. The respondents declared a substantial barrier for healthcare use. The most important reasons of unavailability are financial (26.7%) and the distance (14.7%), while most often they cannot get appropriate drug or a specialist examination.
