The current health insurance system must be revoked because it is not
in line with European standards, Hebrang told reporters.
The minister also announced a proposal to exempt all people above the
age of 65 from paying medicine fees.
Younger insurees could turn to private insurance companies or use the
additional health insurance plan which will be separated from the
basic health insurance plan.
According to Hebrang, competent institutions will start drawing up
standards for the basic health insurance plan, which would last
several months.
Hebrang says that the additional health insurance system must be
adjusted to European standards and that additional and basic health
insurance systems must be separated.
