With his statement o Nikos Androulakisannounced that PASOK-Movement for Change is undertaking a parliamentary initiative for the devastating increases in health insurance premiums and hospital coverage imposed on insurance contracts by insurance companies.

“The problem concerns hundreds of thousands of insured people in hospital programs. Many, unable to meet these increases, are forced to discontinue health insurance that they paid for a lifetime in order to have it at an older and more vulnerable age.” noted Mr. Androulakis.

He attributed to the government the responsibility for them the phenomena as he argued that “this indecency was opened by the government of the New Democracy with a law of 2020 (article 268 n. 4738/2020). That law allowed insurance companies to charge exorbitant premiums based on a private health index that they ultimately created. These are provisions for which the Scientific Service of the Parliament itself had expressed substantiated objections as to their constitutionality”.

The president of PASOK-KINAL stated that “with the start of the work of the Parliament, PASOK will immediately take the initiative for the abolition of this unacceptable regime and its restoration transparency and her balance and in this area. We have a duty to deal with this injustice against thousands of our fellow citizens, caused by the decisions of the New Democracy”.
