“I raise the question whether the really mandatory health insurance tax should be linked to the fact of registering with the Employment Service,” Navickienė said in the Social Democratic faction of Seimas on Thursday.
“The employment service is a place where a person comes to look for work. It is not a social support institution,” added the minister.
The BNS minister later clarified that public funds should be used to ensure the health of all people who cannot do it themselves, including the unemployed. However, the form of insurance must be different.
“They are still finding ways to make sure. He secures at night and has an operation in the morning,” M. Navickienė told BNS.
He stressed that the Employment Service should not administer the PSD contribution.
“Now people come (to the Employment Service – BNS) and get insurance and are unemployed at the same time, because they need to be unemployed, because then they get insurance. It is not logical to take out insurance because you have registered for the service ”, emphasized the minister in BNS.
According to her, this issue is already being discussed with the Ministry of Health.
Now, all those enrolled in the Employment Service are covered by PSD and the state pays the insurance premiums.
The state also reimburses PSD for women on maternity leave, retirees, under 18s, schoolchildren, students, and people who receive social benefits.
Last year, approximately € 440 per year was paid out of the budget for a person covered by PSD with state funds. Every year the state insures about 1.5 million. population of about 660 million. euros.
