If political party Smer implement the project of one health insurance company, it would be the biggest rubbery on citizens in the history of Slovak healthcare system. This was claimed by the former Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik. He does not like that social democrats are planning to spend the money of tax payers on payments for shareholders of private health insurance companies. System of one health insurance company will according to him mean that state will pay hundreds of millions of euros to the shareholders of private health insurance companies instead of investing this money in hospitals, healthcare professionals or patients.
