Presidential hopefuls exchange bitter words over concepts for the health service

Yesterday, supported by the authority of the distinguished cardiosurgen Zbigniew Religa, Donald Tusk criticized PiS' propositions concerning the planned changes to the health service. Tusk argued that under if Kaczynski becomes president then Poland will be exposed to dangerous radicalism. He considers PiS's idea of a return to financing the health service from the state budget too revolutionary. "I'm afraid PiS will attempt to force through their irresponsible policies with the help of League of Polish Families (LPR) and Self-Defense," he said. Kaczynski's reaction was immediate. He called a press conference under the title "Another dangerous liberal experiment on Poles' health proposed by Donald Tusk." (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3-4) A.F.
