Is the Ministry of Health against health insurance? And men die of cancer because of stupidity.
This assumption was made by Viktor Khomyarchuk, vice-chairman of the Belarusian Union of Entrepreneurs. Since Khomyarchuk previously held the position of head of the Belarusian Union of Insurers, this position was put into a specific form by him.
The fact is that the widespread introduction of a system of voluntary medical insurance would lead to a significant reduction in the need for budgetary support for healthcare structures. But the Minister of Health, Vasily Zharko, spoke out against insurance medicine, believing that too much money would be spent on the maintenance of insurance companies themselves, and at the same time stressed the unwillingness of Belarusian medicine to take such steps.
Viktor Khomyarchuk, in turn, noted that the issue is not the readiness of the medical system, but only of its leaders. After all, complexes of paid services are still available in every medical institution. Only if there was insurance medicine, these services would be paid for not by the patient himself, but by the insurance company. However, in this case, the quality of these services would also be checked – and very demanding – by the same insurance company.
According to the vice-chairman of the Belarusian Union of Entrepreneurs, if the government supports the idea of voluntary health insurance for citizens (for example, it allows enterprises to attribute employee insurance costs to the cost of production rather than profit), then this system will work no less actively in our country than compulsory insurance in neighboring Russia. In addition, voluntary health insurance would free up budget funds, which are now mandatory for all patients, for those who really need them. This would free free polyclinics from unnecessary workload and would promote the development of private medical centers. However, medical officials seem to be afraid that this will lead to a significant reduction in funding.
Men die of cancer because of stupidity
Researchers from the UK have stated that a significantly higher percentage of cancer deaths among men – almost 40% more than among women - is due to stupidity. Or, to put it another way, it's a disregard for one's own health.
The thing is that women are much more attentive to their own health than representatives of the stronger sex. They undergo examinations more often, and if they feel something is wrong, they turn to doctors. In turn, men ignore regular checkups, and try to hush up problems. Accordingly, doctors turn to doctors already at very late stages of the disease, when modern medicine can no longer help them. Moreover, the study was conducted not only on examples of so-called specific oncological diseases, which include, for example, prostate cancer, but also on "universal" oncological diseases that affect both men and women equally.
