Lawmakers approved an increase in payments to healthcare for state-insured patients

On Wednesday, lawmakers approved an increase in state health payments for vulnerable groups by 13 billion crowns for the next year. The government initially proposed a higher amount, but it was reduced due to expected higher insurance collections and an increase in caregivers. The proposal will now be reviewed by the Senate, with hopes for timely approval before the end of the year. Additionally, a bill on digital economy regulations and another promoting gender balance in corporate leadership are under consideration. The opposition also attempted to remove Tomio Okamura from his position but was unsuccessful.
