– If President Andrzej Duda does not sign a law reducing the health contribution, it will be known that both he and Karol Nawrocki are against entrepreneurs – said in the program “#bezkit” on TVN24 Polish MP 2050 Ryszard Petru. PiS MP Marcin Horała estimated that the act is a “election sausage”.
The Senate voted on Wednesday in favor of the adoption of the Act on healthcare services financed from public funds and some other acts reducing the health contribution for entrepreneurs since 2026.
Ryszard Petru (Poland 2050-three roads) and Marcin Horała (PiS) were asked in the program “#bezkit” on TVN24, to what decision of the president in this matter.
– I think he will sign (the act – ed.), Because if he does not sign, it will be known that both Andrzej Duda and Karol Nawrocki They are against entrepreneurs, i.e. against 2.5 million entrepreneurs for whom this premium will be reduced – said Petru.
– For me there is an inconceivable position of Law and Justice that voted against. This is incomprehensible, because there was a chance to withdraw from Polish order, which Polish companies drew – he said, turning to Horała.
According to the Polish MP 2050, there is nothing worse for health protection than a company that suspends its activities due to a high health contribution and does not pay any contribution. ”
Horała: This is an election sausage
– Of course, I hope that the president will veto this law. She is a completely irresponsible election sausage – he said PiS MP.
– Still National Health Fund He did not pay hospitals for surplus from last year. Thousands of Poles experienced that the necessary operations, the necessary treatments were postponed for the next year, because there was a lack of money – he said.
As he argued, “we are in favor of helping entrepreneurs, but still the disproportion that someone who earns three times more is to pay a smaller premium is not justified.”
– If it were to be so, an additional five billion is needed from the state budget to only get this hole. Meanwhile, we have a record budget deficit, record state debt, there is no money for everything. And tax revenues are still falling, even though the indicators grow and nothing like that should take place – he mentioned.
He estimated that “these are unfortunately not conditions for lowering the premium.”
The amendment assumes the introduction of a two -element health contribution basis for entrepreneurs – it would be a flat -rate to a certain level, and from the surplus of income – percentage. The changes apply to about 2.5 million conducting business activity.
The new regulations do not change the amount of health contribution paid by employees full -time and it will still be 9 percent. There will also be no changes when it comes to the premium in the case of retirement benefits – it will continue to be 9 percent.
The change will cost the state budget of PLN 4.6 billion (as long as revenues from the health contribution are to decrease).
