He said in CT’s Questions of Vaclav Moravec that judges do not yet know how to approach regulatory fees in health care that they should discuss on Tuesday. Czechs have paid since January 30 crowns per visit to a doctor, 30 crowns per item on a prescription, 60 crowns per day in hospital and 90 crowns for after hours. Rychetsky said no markedly majority opinion has appeared at the court as yet. At the end of January, US rejected the first part of the CSSD proposal that the reform law be abrogated. It comprised mainly tax changes. Rychetsky said he has not yet found a suitable date in April for the court to deal with the social part of the reform. The CSSD says some points of the reform that the government says is to stabilise public finance are anti-constitutional. In its first verdict, US expressed certain objections to the form of the law and said the way parliament discussed it reflected political culture in the country. It also said discussion was limited during the approving of the law, but decided the law need not be abrogated. The opposition says the reform is designed to secure the prosperity of a minority at the cost of poverty of the majority. |
