2005 16.33 THE HAGUE - minister Hoogervorst van Volksgezondheid must
exhort the care insurers harder to that prevent weak groups in the
society the dupe becomes of the new care insurance law. It has
said that CDA Tuesday in the Upper Chamber. If that happens
insufficiently, the chamber must postpone the setting-up of the new
law according to CDA still. ' you must keep the care insurers
sharp ', find Cda-senator Van Leeuwen. The new law enters by 1
January next year. PvdA and SP has earlier already pleaded for
delay. According to the fracties there too much risk that many
people the track is bee touches in the new system. CDA finds it
for delay now still too early. According to the fractie there
much good components in the new care insurance law sit. Senator
Van Leeuwen said himself fight rather ' ' for a good law by 1 January
then the affair on the long job to slide. The government wants
make the health care more effectively and more efficient. That
to reach to get care insurers in the new scheme of medical expenses an
important role as a cost keeper. Many antagonists of the plans
are frightened that the health insurance companies will keep out
patients and disableds as a customer. Citizens must make a
choice between the polisaanbod of the health insurance companies in
the new system moreover himself. The antagonists think that
particularly people with a low training are not able a good make
choice between the insurers. CDA requires that Hoogervorst and
the care insurers fix black on blank that weak groups do not fall
between rampart and ship. CDA wants, just like the VVD that the
government from the cupboard draws everything to give exhaustive
information citizens for 1 January to next year concerning the new
system. D66 wants guarantees also more for protection of weak
groups. Nearly all fracties make themselves look concerning the
position of for example psychiatric patients. Their current
Health Insurance expires end this year. If they do not submit an
application in writing for a new basis insurance are them uninsured.
