Discussion on the sidelines of the meeting |
Delegate Le Van Tri: "Closely monitor the abuse of health insurance". Many people, especially in rural areas, especially poor households, are reluctant to go to hospitals for health examination and treatment with health insurance because of poor service attitude; after examination, the medicine is given in small amounts, cheap medicine. However, some medical facilities take advantage of the health insurance fund to perform some clinical examination procedures, tests, X-rays, endoscopy... causing inconvenience to patients. To limit the abuse of the Health Insurance Fund, along with strengthening the work of health insurance appraisal at medical examination and treatment facilities, the authorities need to strictly inspect and control the "real fund", meeting the requirements of medical examination and treatment for the people. Social insurance agencies, the health sector and units directly participating in health insurance need to promote the spirit of self-awareness, comply with health insurance policies and laws, and at the same time need to punish individuals and organizations that violate health insurance laws. Thanh Le(take note) Delegate Luong Van Hung (Que Phong): There should be identification and differentiation of subjects subject to toll collection. One problem in implementing road toll collection in mountainous areas is due to the special terrain characteristics. Most people live in remote areas where the transportation system is limited. This leads to two problems: propaganda is difficult and people realize that they do not benefit from road toll collection. People's perception is very straightforward that the roads in the villages are dirt roads, built by the people themselves. Therefore, many voters recommend that there should be a determination and differentiation of the subjects to which toll collection applies... Thuc Anh(take note) |
