Zajac: Number of insurance companies is not problem

The problem of Slovak health care is not about whether there is one or are more insurance companies, but its effectiveness and in defining of legal rights of policyholders on what they have covered by public health insurance. It is a politically sensitive issue, said in a discussion former Minister of Health Rudolf Zajac. According to Zajac, we can expect the nationalization or creating a state monopoly of distribution companies and also the state monopoly on pharmacies because the drug policy creates far more profits than health insurance companies. As he also noted, we can also be witness of the nationalization of private doctors and private hospitals, because of they are making profit.
