"It should be clear to the public, although there are no monitoring mechanisms, so this law is not put in place. But, seeing the situation and political stalemate in the course hours, then I'm quite skeptical about whether this law will begin implementation in April, as they say. "

«I will mention three key elements, it is not a good primary medicine defined, secondary, and tertiary, then we define the health information system and don't have the defense mechanism of these funds by cashing out by taxpayers on behalf of the health insurance Fund, "said Syla.

Meanwhile, the cost of the law 2015, as the former Minister Ferid Agani, estimated at 17 million euro, direct costs for the public sector, and the indirect costs as about 14 million for the private sector.

But, explained that the France citizens are obliged to pay health insurance contribution, adding that those who are able to do so, this obligation has planned to take the Government of France.

 

But, with regard to the category that is exempt from the payment of the premium and the cofinancing, Çavdërbasha Education, acting Executive Director of the health care financing Agency of the Ministry of health, whose poor households under social assistance to detainees that are sentenced, people living in State institutions, children in care and foster far-fetched, seniors and people with disabilities placed in homes for the elderly as well as houses for community integration.
