description: The purpose of this study is to shed light on the status of the patient in health policies implemented in order to secure patients access to care and to improve the quality of the care. The study focuses on patients and the treatment guarantee from the viewpoints of government and nongovernmental organisations in 2004-2010. The treatment guarantee is the only segment of legislation that gives patients concrete assurance of access to treatment and quality care. The experiences of patients and organisations in combination with inconsistencies in official follow-up data reinforce the need for this study. The three-level theoretical framework of the study based on the discourse-historical approach in Ruth Wodak s linguistic model. It builds on the impressive background of period pieces and modern-day diagnostics (zeitdiagnose), special phenomena such as the notion of patients as actors in the health policy debate, and language management. The task of the study is to describe the status of patients in the context of the treatment guarantee, as well as to outlines the relationship of public health organisations and government authorities to the reform in national health policy over the period 2004-2010.
