The presence of private health insurance companies on the market, according to the Minister of Health, did not meet the expectations. Plurality of health insurance companies has, according to her, overcharged the healthcare system. She considers the purchasing of private health insurance companies as the best investment for the future. How much it would cost, she could not say. Her predecessor Ivan Uhliarik claims that system of one health insurance company means a return 20 years back. He claims that it is necessary to tighten the conditions under which the private health insurance companies would be able to draw the profit.
