Novotný: Smer offers a pig in a poke in pharmacies

Proposal of political party Smer for allowing of discounts in pharmacies up to half of surcharge for pharmaceutical is according to the Vice President of political party SDKÚ, Viliam Novotný, a pig in a poke. According to him this will aggrieve patients and health insurance companies. It will be, according to him, besides this, a non-transparent system, as the pharmacy will not have to publish the amount of offered discount. Patient will be according to him confused in this new system of discounts, as currently patient knows that he/she runs on the loyalty system and knows how to claim the discount.
