According to the available evidence, there are three major problems with the health and social care of minority elders in BH today. First, despite all the emphasis on 'priority setting' in BH's health system, the issue of 'elderly care' is not even mentioned, as if this section of the general population does not exist. Lesser still is any awareness of the special needs of ethnic minority elders. Second, the post-war restructuring of the health and social care in BH seems to be heavility biased towards high-level, super- and hyper-specialised, profit-making clinical services at the expense of primary care. The ffectiveness of the recent reforms and priority-setting agenda remains to be seen, as do levels of accountability. Third, the new health insurance scheme envisaged for BH (a compulsory basic level, plus the payment of extra premiums for better services) turns out to be a system for taxing the elderly twice over. This is true for minority elders, whether they are from an indigenious ethnic population, such as the Roma, or from those new minorities created as a consequence of the partition of historic Bosnia into two political entities following the war.
