Tymoshenko stands for combined healthcare system

Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko stands for the introduction of combined healthcare system based on insurance and budget medicine, she said this at Sunday's meeting with staff of Mechnikov Dnipropetrovsk Regional Clinical Hospital, National radio reported.

According to her, it is necessary to take all the best from both systems of medicine that exist in the world - the insurance and the budget ones and complete a combined system. A minimum list of services, including emergency care must be paid at the expense of the state, Tymoshenko emphasized.

In her words, economic entities must pay a medical insurance for their workers and members of their families, and taxes will be reduced for these entities. A medical insurance for low-income persons must be bought for state money. The Prime Minister added that a relevant bill has been already worked out.
