The ruling coalition has not yet discussed the steps it will take to pass the bill, Boc added.

Liberal Party leader Crin Antonescu said earlier Monday the Opposition might submit a no-confidence motion against the Government if it seeks lawmakers’ confidence vote on the healthcare bill.

The Health Ministry’s Emergency Committee and deputy state secretary Raed Arafat analyzed at the end of the week the new healthcare bill and drafted a document stating their viewpoint regarding the future of emergency medical services.

According to Raed Arafat, one of the conclusions is that the new bill destroys the integrated emergency medical system by doing away with the concept of public and private.

The new healthcare bill was put up for public debate on December 28, 2011 on the Health Ministry’s website. The bill’s text will remain online until January 28, 2012. According to the draft act, hospitals may operate as foundations or commercial companies to attract extra financial resources.
