Doctor Kulkovský to Matovič: You are like a bloated little child on a sandpit! THIS is nonsense and across the line – Topky.sk

“If I wanted to prove to someone that he is not a better manager than me, although the opposite is true, I would behave exactly as the Minister of Finance has long behaved towards the Minister of Health. “ Milan Kulkovský, the head of the internal department at the hospital in Považská Bystrica, began.

He pointed out that the reduction in payments for state policyholders is a blow below the belt at a time when the Ministry of Health needs incentives and not brakes. According to Kulkovsky, it does not matter whether the head of the health sector will compensate for this outage in another way, because one way or another it is a bad signal. As he added, he cannot claim indefinitely that essentially nothing bad has happened.

“In coincidence with the rich waste of money on the lottery, simply reducing the payment for state policyholders is a provocative snag in the nose of all health professionals. I can do nothing but a hilarious message: “And now you can! Cha… ”It is a pity that we are not talking about the sulking of a child in the sandpit, but about an adult who put the fate of the Slovak healthcare system and the health of the population into the game., “ stated Kulkovský.

In conclusion, he stated that the defense of budget cuts by former Minister of Health Marek Krajčí is also across the line. He said in a discussion session on Sunday that insured persons do not have to be afraid of restrictions on health care, and, according to him, insurance companies will have savings of 60 million. In addition, he said, in the current situation, it is possible to save part of the money, as the pandemic rages and assumes that health care will be postponed.

“If private insurers did not carry out certain accounting operations, they would report a profit. It is important that they now get only the money they need, ” He stressed that if hospitals have increased costs for patients with COVID-19 or for surcharges for health professionals, they will receive funding. “It will come from sources other than health insurance, “ reminded Krajčí. Kulkovský also responded to these words, according to which it is about “confirmation of the above-mentioned principle of truce and harm ‘.

On Tuesday evening (October 5), the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic informed that Lengvarský will negotiate with the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic on the reduction of payments for state policyholders. At the same time, it made sure that there would be as much money in the sector as it really needed.

According to the current tax forecast, the payment for the state’s policyholders is to be reduced by a total of more than EUR 232 million to EUR 1.2 billion. The head of the Ministry of Finance, Igor Matovič (OĽaNO), therefore asked the Minister of Health at the end of September to commit the funds in the mentioned amount. The state pays health insurance, for example, for the elderly, children, students, women on maternity leave or the unemployed.
