The government is preparing another tribute to us.

 Author: Tomasz Bar

It is known for a long time that hospitals must have funds for the treatment of victims.
The only question is why again at the expense of motorists? After all, the civil liability insurance premium is intended for the above purposes.
Why nearly 14 million car owners have to endure another camouflaged tax?
Is it because they are the best social group that you can reach into your pocket with impunity?
It is already known that from January 1, 2007 excise tax on fuel will go up by 25 grosze per liter.
However, this is not enough for you.
The scale of possible OC increases can freeze many a 4-wheel holder.
According to the Polish Chamber of Insurance, if the amendment to the Health Services Act comes into force, the cost of insurance may increase by up to 30%.

Why such a raise?

In its intention, the Ministry wants to impose on insurers an obligation to transfer 20% of contributions to the special treatment fund for victims in the National Health Funds.
It is not difficult to guess that insurance companies will lose losses incurred in this respect to customers, which will result in a rise in insurance prices. In addition, there will be costs of transferring money to the NFZ.

The idea of ​​a cheap state has been forgotten, and the money in the budget is scarce.

I wonder why this unpleasant surprise hit drivers.
Why the government, wanting to please all voter groups in such a way, forgot about such a large, after all, group of several million.
There are more motorists than retirees and pensioners who bravely defend their rights by demanding ever higher benefits and their valorisation. You can't move them so you have to look elsewhere.

I hope that the idea of ​​charging drivers additional costs will be challenged.
Forcing insurers to pay 20% of premiums for a special purpose is nothing more than another tax, only that introduced through a side door.
Why is the state doing so little about drunk drivers who cause these accidents?
Most of them drive under the influence of alcohol with impunity, and the punishments imposed by the courts are usually ridiculous compared to the danger posed by those drivers on the road.
Why are there no drastic penalties for them?
It is in the form of significant increases in OC rates.
Perhaps because it is easier and faster to increase rates obligatorily than to punish individual perpetrators.

For now, the Polish Insurance Association plans to challenge the idea of ​​the Ministry of Health as unconstitutional. Maybe you can prevent or even reduce them.
However, the ideas of looking for money to cover shortages in the state coffers are dangerous.
Observing the actions of the government, you can be almost certain that instead of reforms and savings, once again there will be ideas to reach into the pockets of various social groups.
