Alexandru Rogobete, Minister proposed to health
“At the moment, when an Patient was on medical leavethe income was greater. So, with the taxation of medical prisoners, the daily income, the patient’s month, will not decrease. They will not receive less than they receive on a normal day, in a normal month of work. So the monthly income will not decrease. At the moment, when a patient is on illness leave, the income at the end of the month is higher, precisely because that income is not taxed CASS”, Said Alexandru Rogobete, after hearing in the parliamentary committees.
The proposed minister stated that, with this regulation and the application of the CASS, the income will not decrease.
“Let’s look at the important and most important part of things. We have millions of fictitious holidays. This is one of the measures that will discourage patients, and doctors on the other hand, to issue this type of fictitious medical leave. It is not any police of medical leave. Patients.said Alexandru Rogobete.
The disease on the disease, as it was called last year the obligation to pay CASS on certain medical leave, was reintroduced by the new governing program 2025 – 2028, this time for all certificates, the exceptions from payment being completely eliminated. Currently, only 6.3 million Romanians contribute, while over 16.6 million benefit from services.
The government wants to balance this report, which is why all those who enter medical leave will pay the health contribution (CASS), including the categories exempted so far: such as chronic disease, maternity or care of sick children. Pensioners with pensions greater than 4,000 lei will also pay CASS, a measure that will increase by over 15% of the number of taxpayers.
The governing program provides for “reform of medical leave”, by strengthening “integrity of the health insurance system and combating abuses in granting medical leave”.
The document provides for the regulation of granting medical leave and sanctions for doctors who provide fictitious medical leave.
The government wants more people to pay the health contribution (CASS), so that the system has more money.
“Increasing the base of payers at the Insurance House: discouraging the granting of fictitious medical leave: controls on doctors and holiday beneficiaries. Elimination of CASS exemption for all medical leave; 20% increase in the taxpayers base of CASS, by eliminating exceptions (payers 6.3 million – beneficiaries 16.6 million);”, It is stated in the quoted document.
