Borbely, the party’s vice-president, said the major changes brought about by the new bill could be misinterpreted, considering Romania is holding local and parliamentary elections this year. Borbely also told MEDIAFAX the new bill will be put up for debate this year but should not be enforced this year.
UDMR will also discuss with the IMF officials the new changes regarding the co-payment system in the healthcare sector. End-2010, Borbely said his party will propose amending the law regulating the co-payment system, to set a potential 400 lei (EUR92) ceiling for healthcare services for which the co-payment is applied.
UDMR leaders and ministers will meet with IMF officials Wednesday, at the Government headquarters, while a meeting between the latter and Prime Minister Emil Boc is set for Thursday.
A delegation of the International Monetary Fund is currently in Romania for the fourth review of a EUR3.5 billion precautionary agreement signed end-March 2011.
