The Left's Spokesperson on Health Contribution Reform:
In its current form, it will not be supported by us.
- Today, the government presented two projects for health contribution reform. The first, for 2025, aims to eliminate contributions from fixed assets and provide relief to entrepreneurs with the lowest incomes - we in the Left agree to this. We have a different opinion about the second project for 2026. - Łukasz Michnik wrote on the X portal.
As the spokesperson for New Left writes: - The proposal for 2026 assumes that entrepreneurs' contribution burdens will be significantly lower than those of employed individuals. For example, an employee earning 8,000 PLN will pay a contribution over 400 PLN higher than a person operating as a sole proprietor, earning the same income.
“We do not agree to shifting the burden of healthcare funding onto employees”
- The Left's proposal to abolish the health contribution and move to a budget system is on the table. This means an additional 30 billion PLN for the National Health Fund. However, if our coalition partners want to stick to the contribution system at all costs, then as the Left, we say clearly: contributions must be progressive - he pointed out.
He emphasizes that his party “fundamentally disagrees with shifting the burden of maintaining healthcare onto employees.” - This change will also cause employed workers to massively transition to self-employment or simply be pushed into it - he argues.
“The reform in its current form will not be supported by the Left”
As read in the post: - The project for the contribution for 2026, in its current form, is too great a blow to the healthcare system. These changes will cost the budget 5 billion PLN annually. This 5 billion PLN could be allocated to hospitals, specialists, and medical equipment, but it will go towards tax reliefs for entrepreneurs.
- The reform in its current form will not be supported by the Left. We have submitted our comments to the Council of Ministers and will work on progressive changes in the Sejm - emphasizes the spokesperson for NL.
Reforma w tym kształcie nie zostanie poparta przez @__Lewica. Zgłosiliśmy swoje uwagi na Radzie Ministrów i będziemy pracować nad progresywnymi zmianami w Sejmie. 7/7
