In this study we have tried to point out basic variables on which patient preferences towards getting health care from public or private sector depends, and also by what percentage these variables provide satisfaction to patients in the context of value-based health care system. By taking a poll we have measured the magnitude of health expenditures goes to public and private hospitals and in return of these expenditures, the level of satisfaction people get in the context of value-based health system. Also we try to compare these two different kinds of hospitals by considering service quality and different prices. aasure and was also asked. In health sector which is one of the biggest and basic sectors of Turkey, in order to achieve efficiency in using resources, we can benefit from the "value-based health system" which will pave the way for optimum allocation of resources. When we take considere the main examples relating with this issue all over the world we can easily recognize that in developed and rich countries like UK and USA, the "value-based health system" is getting more and more importance and having a crucial role in optimising resources in health industry. Considering the dual structure of health sector, people’s satisfaction level in comparison with their health expenditures was searched and end up with a conclusion about the satisfaction level according to prices charged by different hospitals. Public survey also show which part of patients prefer what kind of health care system and price level that patients choose to pay for their health care. Finally, it is seen that behavioral intention is mostly taking the first place in this matter.
