I propose to abolish the supplementary health insurance and to extend the basic (and now the single and uniform) health insurance basket to all health services, including dental services. The contribution for health insurance should be assessed in a similar way as it has been for basic health insurance. These funds should be administered by the Health Insurance Fund (ZZZS) (and not by other health insurance companies), and a uniform price list should be established for all health services provided by Slovenian health care institutions.   Reasons: 1. Basic health insurance covers almost no comprehensive treatment for any medical condition or disease. In order to avoid co-payments, it is necessary to have supplementary health insurance. The contribution for the latter is the same regardless of income, which is not joint and several. The public health system in the Republic of Slovenia should be based on solidarity and comprehensive health care for the population. 2. Dentistry is part of health care, as it deals with certain diseases of the oral cavity, but mainly with diseases of the teeth and the tissues surrounding the teeth. Like all other fields of medicine, dental medicine is designed to treat medical conditions. It is unacceptable that health insurance does not cover all the dental services needed to ensure the overall health of the population of the Republic of Slovenia. A disease is a disease, regardless of which tissue, organ or organ system it affects. 3. In the Republic of Slovenia, there is still no uniform price list for all the health services provided by Slovenian health institutions. Prices are set by each provider, and can therefore vary considerably from one provider to another. If we compare the prices for services in our country with the prices for the same services in our neighbours, we can quickly see that they are often prohibitively high. The Health Insurance Fund (ZZZS), which pays for these services, should therefore urgently draw up a price list for each individual service, taking its lead from foreign countries. 4. The prices of health services in the RS also depend on the prices of the medical devices used, which also vary considerably, even among our own health care institutions. It would be urgent to establish a system for the uniform public procurement of all medical devices for all Slovenian healthcare institutions as soon as possible, while at the same time achieving prices comparable to those of other EU Member States. Solutions would therefore have to be sought at a higher level. The harmonisation of prices of medical devices between EU Member States, in particular with a view to finding cheaper suppliers for Slovenian needs, should be proposed by our MEPs in the European Parliament.   Additional ideas to complete the proposal are of course welcome.i
