PiS wants to cancel National Health Fund

Beata Szydło, Law and Justice (PiS) candidate for the Polish Prime Minister office said that if her political grouping wins this fall's election, it will liquidate the National Health Fund (NFZ). The main opposition party proposes that the many committed for health care should be directly spent from the state's budget, and not be distributed by NFZ. PiS claims that the current system stands against Polish patients who deserve better care. The grouping is also in opposition to the idea of privatization of state-owned hospitals.
