Poland: Health care crisis provokes strikes and protests
World Socialist Web Site, MI -
The latest series of protests began early in 2006. In February, approximately 1,000 HCPs from 13 medical clinics in the southeastern region of Podkarpacie demonstrated against Poland’s deteriorating health care system. Citing low pay of 1,400 to 1,550 zloty a month ($450 to $500) for public-sector health care workers, the workers demanded a 30 percent pay raise, only to be met with empty promises of future government assistance by Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz from the ruling Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc (Law and Justice Party—PiS). Marcinkiewicz’s statement followed a meeting in late February with representatives from the official health care trade unions, chief among them the Ogólnopolski Zwiazek Zawodowy Lekarzy (All-Polish Trade Union of Doctors—OZZL).

The more people covered in the pool, the lower the percentage of risk for an insurer. In very simple terms: In a business where three people work, if one gets seriously ill and runs up a $30,000 medical bill that means the bill is divided among the three people, or $10,000 each. If 300 people work in that business, each would come up with $100.
