Luxembourg’s Minister for Health and Social Security Mars Di Bartolomeo has outlined the key financial and structural measures contained in the government’s health care reform bill, which provides crucially for an increase in contributions.
Emphasizing that the aim of the reform is to contribute to curbing and to channelling growth in expenditure, the minister insisted on the urgency of the situation, and underlined the fact that in the absence of savings measures, consistent with the rate of growth of the country, Luxembourg will be confronted with a mounting and increasingly important deficit in existing operations.
Consequently, Bartolomeo announced the government’s decision to cover the deficit by around EUR100m by introducing a number of savings measures and by increasing existing contributions in order to generate additional revenues for the government of an estimated EUR50m.
