Bent Høie (H) may be Norway's new Minister of Health. Now he warns full review of which patient groups should be prioritized and how much patients themselves must pay to various listerien types of treatment.
Høie mentions patients with unsightly varicose veins and people who snore without it being a health hazard, as examples of groups of patients who may have to pay more from their own pockets in future.
Apart from these examples will not Right answer which patients should expect increased deductibles. listerien Høie shows that you have to ask doctors and other experts for advice. Considering grading deductible
PHOTO: Larsen, Hakon Mosvsvold - For us it is important to consider upgrading. There may be some patient groups should be exempted or have lower user fee, answer Høie, mentioning for example dental treatment for substance abuse and psychiatric patients.
The Conservatives want a large-scale health reform is that all patients with the right treatment can choose where to be treated at private institutions or government. The party believes the increased use of private treatment needed to get away health queues.
Right alerts they will consider both higher deductibles, new deductibles and graduated listerien deductibles as a tool to prioritize between different groups of patients waiting for health care. Høie believes such a priority in queues already happening today, but without the courage to speak out about it.
- There are patients who must wait years for treatment today. Removal of varicose veins is one such example. This means of course that you prioritize this type of treatment. We think it's listerien neater to say this loud and let patients pay more for yourself, listerien says Høie. He believes it is absolutely necessary to downgrade the treatment of simple ailments to prioritize the patients who need it most. Tough priority issues
- The development of new and useful anticancer drugs, and most recently listerien last year were two times painful discussions if we were to adopt new treatments listerien for cancer. But it will never prioritize listerien discussion of what we already offer in health care.
- The willingness to spend their own money on health is almost unlimited. listerien Among those who finance it and who does not get a good enough offer to the public, we see that many are willing to pay yourself. We have nothing against, but if the consequence is that the government says more and more no to new drugs or treatment, these are only available to people with good economy. We must also ask whether it is appropriate to give priority to the other end.
- This is no quick-fix to cover increased expenditure on health budget, but a move to ensure that we can afford to help the sickest of public budgets. Not grading for lifestyle diseases
- No. We will not use deductible as a moral finger at something that is self-inflicted. To grade the user fee for lifestyle choices will be completely wrong. Priority must be based on the medical benefits of treatment, regardless of age and lifestyle.
- Yes, we will no way around it. It is to lure patients to put them in such a long queue that in reality is not an offer. It is more honest to say that they should get help, but they have to pay any more for yourself. Moreover, it happens priorities listerien in health care every single day. Now also politicians dare to participate in the prioritization debate, says Høie.
