Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan has announced that taxes will be introduced for mothers with young children and pensioners with pensions over 3,000 lei in order to increase the number of contributors to the health fund.

In an interview, Ilie Bolojan emphasized the need to increase the number of contributors to the health system, given that there are 6.3 million contributors and 16.5 million beneficiaries. To address this situation, a 10% tax will be introduced on pensions over 3,000 lei and mothers will be required to contribute during the child-rearing period. Bolojan explained that we can no longer be a country of exceptions and that it is essential to ensure the sustainability of the healthcare system.
