BIA demands higher penalties for non-payment of health insurance contributions

Yesterday, the Bulgarian Industrial Association (BIA) demanded higher penalties for the people who do not remit health insurance contributions but are able to do so. Experts from BIA said that they had made a survey on the topic in early September. Some 76% of the respondents demanded an increase in sanctions for inaccurate payers. Just 17% of the polled were of the opposite opinion, while 7% found the question difficult.

Some 79% of the respondents noted that the State should provide medical care for persons who have proven that they do not receive an income in order to pay insurance contributions. Over half of the respondents stated that it is necessary to draw out a public register of uninsured persons, read the statement of BIA.
