Ossinovski: Universal health insurance won't solve healthcare funding problems

Jevgeni Ossinovski ütles, et on vana idee. Eestis on aga eriline olukord, sest ligi 10% inimestel pole ravikindlustust. See ei sobi solidaarse tervishoiusüsteemi loogikaga.
Ossinovski ütles, et ravikindlustuse puudumine ei tähenda, et inimesed ei saa . Kui inimene haigestub raskelt, siis ta saab ikkagi abi . Selline abi on aga riigile palju kallim.
Universaalne ravikindlustus ei suurendaks riigi kulutusi oluliselt. Tervishoiu rahastusprobleemid tulevad demograafilisest muutumisest, sest ja meditsiin muutub kallimaks.
Eesti solidaarne ravikindlustus põhineb kolmel põhimõttel: nooremad maksavad vanemate ravi eest, jõukamad maksavad vaesemate ravi eest ja terved maksavad haigete ravi eest.
Ossinovski arvates ei ole palju võimalusi . Võiks arutada, kas on õiglane, et mõned inimesed vältivad sotsiaalmaksu maksmist.
Kui tervishoid ei saa rohkem raha, siis suureneb ja rohkem teenuseid lähevad . Jõukamad inimesed saavad lubada tasulist , vaesemad aga mitte.
Ossinovski ütles, et ühiskond peab mõistma, et ka otsustamatusel on oma hind. Haridus ja tervishoid Eestis põhinevad solidaarsusel. Kõigil lastel peaks olema .
Lisaks peab Ossinovski vajalikuks haiglate ühtsat juhtimist. Ta arvab, et kõik haiglad peaksid kuuluma riigile, et .
Jevgeni Ossinovski said that universal health insurance is an old idea. However, Estonia has a special situation because nearly 10% of people don't have health insurance. This doesn't fit with the logic of a solidary healthcare system.
Ossinovski said that the lack of health insurance doesn't mean people can't get medical help. If a person becomes seriously ill, they can still get help through emergency services. However, such help is much more expensive for the state.
Universal health insurance wouldn't significantly increase state expenditures. Healthcare funding problems come from demographic changes as the population ages and medicine becomes more expensive.
Estonia's solidary health insurance is based on three principles: the young pay for the treatment of the elderly, the wealthy pay for the treatment of the poor, and the healthy pay for the treatment of the sick.
In Ossinovski's opinion, there aren't many possibilities to raise the social tax. We could discuss whether it's fair that some people avoid paying social tax.
If healthcare doesn't get more funding, people's own contributions to medical expenses will increase and more services will move to the private sector. Wealthier people will be able to afford paid medical services, while poorer people won't.
Ossinovski said that society must understand that indecision also has its price. Education and healthcare in Estonia are based on solidarity. All children should have equal rights to good education and medical treatment.
Additionally, Ossinovski considers unified hospital management necessary. He believes all hospitals should belong to the state so healthcare resources could be planned more efficiently.
