Corona: Head of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians AGAINST higher contributions for those unwilling to vaccinate – domestic policy

by time news

He clearly says: No!

The head of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), Andreas Gassen, has strictly rejected higher health insurance contributions for those who do not want to vaccinate and those who oppose the vaccination. “The solidarity-based statutory health insurance with over 100 years of history has no risk-adapted premiums,” said Gassen of the “Rheinische Post” published in Düsseldorf (Monday). The Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) had suggested that higher health insurance contributions should be considered in the event of violations of the planned general corona vaccination obligation.

▶︎ “In the logic of the Bavarian Minister of Health, there should also be surcharges for smokers or overweight patients in the future, as these also regularly trigger high treatment costs,” said Gassen. “It also remains a mystery how malus rules should work for people who are insured under transfer payments. It would be better to convince the people, ”said the KBV president.

The Bavarian Minister of Health Holetschek had argued that the risk for unvaccinated people to get seriously ill with Corona was significantly increased. For them, therefore, among other things, higher health insurance contributions, a share in the treatment costs or the cancellation of sickness benefits would come into question.
