State will stop to pay contributions for some of its policyholders

From the beginning of next year the state will stop paying contribution for some of its policyholders like working pensioners, students, and women receiving the parental allowance, whom an annual assessment base 15 times exceeds the subsistence minimum, which is for next year 2 918.7 euro. State will be no longer paying health insurance contributions for those policyholders, who are working and their monthly assessment base of their employment will be higher than € 243.2. This stems from an amendment to the Health Insurance Act, which was on November 29, 2012 approved by parliament. Currently, the state pays health insurance for its policyholders even if these people have earned some income. This leads to parallel payments of health insurance contributions by working state policyholder and also by state.
