/ world today news/ “It is better for a person to collect his money and, when he needs it, go and pay” – this is what the chairman of the BSP Mikhail Mikov commented from the parliamentary rostrum on the occasion of healthcare in our country.
Why should a person give his money to the Health Fund, when it is constantly claimed that it is not possible to control its spending, and it is not known whether his illness is socially significant or not, asked the leader of the left. He commented that if the retirement age were made to be 90, there would be no need to pay pensions.
Mihail Mikov explained that over the years, since 1999, people’s reluctance to pay has been periodically noted for various reasons – some due to malicious avoidance of health insurance, others due to impossibility. According to him, more and more people are refusing to pay, especially after the crisis that gripped Bulgaria during the administration of GERB.
“But health care and health is a constitutional right. The market approach, which is being strengthened, may lead to the point that if additional requirements are introduced, there will be no patients to be served and the Health Fund will collect 3 billion and distribute them in some way”, commented the chairman of BSP. He also recalled the case of BGN 2 billion taken from the Health Fund’s reserve.
“Such an approach is not good and it will not restore trust and will not make people pay more regularly,” added Mikhail Mikov. According to him, there is a very high degree of mistrust, money is growing, patients are decreasing. “Drug prices are rising, private hospitals are expanding, robbing expensive paths, there is no money in public health care,” he added.
The leader of the BSP also commented on the idea of Health Minister Petar Moskov to introduce a sanction – for those who do not undergo preventive examinations, to increase their health contribution. “Is it clear to you that out of 4,000 practices in Bulgaria, 1,000 are so-called unattractive practices where there is no doctor. Do you understand that in isolated villages 50-60 km from the district town, where the general practitioner registered him and never saw him, the patient has no money to go for a preventive examination”, emphasized the chairman of the BSP and asked: “Where do you live In Brussels, Paris, Munich? You can even see this from the yellow paving stones. You have to be very detached from the earth to have no idea”, concluded Mikhail Mikov.
