Fleur Agema wrote that the health insurance premium would be much higher next year. According to her, both the minority cabinet and the House of Representatives contributed to this by halting legislation for a reduction in the deductible and silently supporting that the deductible was not further lowered to 165 euros per year. She referred to measure 34 from the Coalition Agreement, about which NOS had recently written. Agema described measure 34 as a cut of 3.7 billion euros. According to her, this included the AZWA agreement, which had a structural health investment of 2.3 billion euros: 1.1 billion euros for intensifications in the sectoral frameworks and 0.6 billion euros for two extra years of a zero line in medical-specialist care. If the investments were scrapped while the cuts remained, this would amount to a discount for health insurers that would come back in higher premiums. According to Agema, persistent inflation would also drive up wages and prices. She noted that the one and a half million healthcare professionals also did grocery shopping and wrote that the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport could not rein in inflation. https://t.co/ODN4uoNNJl #Zorgpremie #TweedeKamer #Economie (translated)
