EU citizens could get access to EU wide medical care
This revolutionary project is to be announced in the European Parliament on November 20. If the new regulations come into force patients would not have to request permission from their country of origin to seek medical help abroad. In order to begin treatment in a foreign clinic, all a patient would need is an ID card, proof of insurance in the home country, and a committal from the doctor. The bills for the treatments would be paid for by countries of origin of the patients. In case of Poles seeking treatment abroad, the National Health Fund would pay the bills, but would pay at the rate which is charged in Poland. The difference would be paid by the EU member countries.
