Petru on Health Contributions:

We Haven't Had Our Last Word Yet.

- We haven't had our last word yet - said Ryszard Petru on TVP Info, when asked about health contributions and the lack of chances for their reduction in 2025. - There was money for the "grandma's benefit", there was money for the widow's pension [...] I am a supporter of us proceeding with the bill submitted by the Poland 2050 club in a format that is consistent with the declaration of Finance Minister Andrzej Domański, which foresees 4 billion zlotys in the budget next year, and I believe we should submit this bill to the Sejm and proceed with it, and that's it - he continued. - There is a high chance that it will gain a majority and in this way the contribution will be reduced next year, perhaps, probably not from January 1st, because the entire reform coming into effect from January 1st would be too expensive - he went on to say.
