Dear Sir or Madam! The Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia (hereafter: the Constitution) guarantees the right to social security in Article 50 and provides that "Citizens have the right to social security, including the right to a pension, under the conditions laid down by law. The State shall regulate and provide for compulsory health, pension, invalidity and other social insurance". Article 51 provides: "Everyone has the right to health care under the conditions laid down by law". Article 15 of the Law on Health Care and Health Insurance (hereinafter: ZZVZZ) is contrary to the URS because it does not regulate compulsory health insurance for citizens of the RS who have only temporary residence in the RS. I am a citizen of the RS. I am alone in the whole of the RS, because all my family is abroad. I have no property and I live in a student residence (I study at the Faculty of Law in Maribor). By the very definition of the Residence Registration Act, the address of a student residence cannot be considered as a permanent residence. Due to the actual impossibility of declaring my permanent residence, I have only a temporary residence in the RS and my compulsory health insurance is regulated on the basis of Article 15 (1) (14) of the Health Insurance Act - as "foreigners studying or completing their studies in the RS" (because I also have Bosnian citizenship). The monthly amount for this type of basic health insurance is 123.86 euros, which is not a small amount of money for me as a student and a girl of 25 years of age, who is alone in the Republic of Slovenia. From September 2011 to January 2012, I did not have compulsory health insurance at all. After the end of my temporary residence (which by law lasts one year), the registration for compulsory health insurance automatically expired. After I obtained temporary residence again, I was told by the Health Insurance Institute Maribor that there were no longer any conditions to be included in the compulsory health insurance. I requested and received a written decision on the impossibility to join the compulsory health insurance on 27.9.2011. Months passed. I contacted the Ministry of Health (they told me that they were not competent), the Ombudsman for Human Rights (she advised me to register my permanent residence, which as I have already mentioned to you is not possible), Mrs. Pija Lekšan Lipovec (Head of the Compulsory Health Insurance Department in the OE Maribor, who claimed that there were no conditions for inclusion and that I should not come anymore) and to Mrs Eva Godina (Head of the International Health Insurance Department of ZZZS, who promised to try to resolve the situation). I thought about filing a petition for review of the constitutionality or legality of a regulation or general act issued for the exercise of public powers, but due to the health problems I was experiencing and the length of the procedure before the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia, I did not decide to file a petition because I was looking for a quicker and more effective solution. On 21.12.2011 I received an e-mail from Mrs Eva Godina, informing me to come to the Health Insurance Institute OE Maribor to arrange my compulsory health insurance. After four months of daily searching for the possibility to be included in the compulsory health insurance, I was re-insured on the basis of Article 15, paragraph 1, point 14 of the Health Insurance Act and as a citizen of the Republic of Slovenia, I pay a monthly compulsory health insurance, as I have already mentioned to you above, of 123.86 euros, which at the same time, when determining the monthly amount, is discriminatory in relation to the possibilities offered by the Health Insurance Act to other citizens of the Republic of Slovenia who have a registered permanent residence in the Republic of Slovenia. I now have compulsory health insurance, but my temporary residence will expire in September and, after I have acquired temporary residence again, I must not even think about the complications that await me at the Health Insurance Institution OE Maribor. It is unacceptable that the Republic of Slovenia, as a member of the European Union and the Council of Europe, by the way its laws are regulated, does not allow its citizens to be covered by compulsory health insurance, or if it does, it does so in a way that is discriminatory in determining the amount in relation to other citizens of the Republic of Slovenia. In both cases, violations of already guaranteed constitutional rights will arise, which will (of course, if you do not accept the amendment of Article 15 of the Health Insurance Act) lead to many court proceedings before the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia in the future and, at the same time, to the loss of money from the budget of the Republic of Slovenia for the compensation which will be granted by the decisions of the Constitutional Court to individuals who have suffered harm on their own skin because of the 90 members of the National Assembly who are bound by oath under the Constitutional Law to regulate the right of every citizen of the Republic of Slovenia to social security by law. In the hope that you will amend Article 15 of the Social Security Act in such a way as to insert just one more sentence in paragraph 1, namely that insured persons under this Act are also "citizens of the RS with temporary residence in the RS", please accept my best regards!
