Milena Apostolakis and Dimitris Spyrakos speak of “another blow” that the insured in the private health insurance field speaks.

As they say, ‘Following the extermination increases in recent years of health insurance premiums, which the government has allowed by imposing the private index of insurance companies, the latter are now changing to change the manner of compensation of insured persons, making their access to private hospitals.“

Specifically, the PASOK-Machine-Machine Economics and the Secretary of the Private Debt and Consumer Protection Sector in their joint statement notes that insurance companies “require insured persons to pay themselves in the field of hospitalization themselves”. “The result, insured persons who do not have sufficient savings, are unable to use their contracts,” adds.

Also emphasize that ‘Large private hospitals and insurance companies are indifferent to consumer rightsSpecifically, “private hospitals, operating under a full opacity regime, take advantage of the difficult position and weakness of patients to impose charges beyond all logic. And, instead of organizing, as they have a debt, the provision of their services in a way that protects the interests of the insured, choose the easy way to pass the costs and “co -operation” of consumers “.

Mrs Apostolakis and Mr Spirakos point out that ‘PASOK, which, with its initiatives, led to the abolition of the IOBE’s unacceptable index to adjust the premiums, will lead immediately in initiatives to end the nonsense and distortions of competition in the field of private health. In the face of a government that, with its inactivity, fosters the unacceptable consumer to speculation and in this area, it will defend the interests of the insured and the patients.“

As they point out, ”Changing the way insured is compensated is a unilateral and abusive practice that undermines their rights and as such should be immediately withdrawn“
