Schimbare majoră propusă din nou pentru CASS: românii să poată direcționa o parte din bani către privat. Cristina Prună: „Plătim sănătatea de două ori”

Cristina Prună, a USR deputy, advocates for allowing part of health contributions to be directed to private insurers, highlighting the double payment issue faced by many Romanians. A project proposed in 2023 aims to create a basic private health insurance system, enabling individuals to choose their insurer. Despite its potential benefits, the project has faced institutional opposition, including a negative stance from the government and rejection by the Senate. Prună argues that this reform would enhance patient choice and competition, while maintaining public health principles. The ongoing discussion reflects the significant out-of-pocket health expenses in Romania.
