I Call Not to Fall for These Manipulations: Arsen Torosyan

As a result of manipulations and the distortion of concepts, the discourse surrounding the implementation of comprehensive health insurance aims to become merely a discourse on a new tax type. This was stated by Health Minister Arsen Torosyan on his Facebook page.

“Dear citizens, due to manipulations and the distortion of concepts, the discourse surrounding the implementation of comprehensive health insurance aims to become merely a discourse on a new tax type. There is no such discourse, and I call on everyone not to fall for these manipulations.

Of course, I do not expect that all our healthy and young citizens who actively comment will fully read the conceptual document, but I want to remind them that the money collected for health insurance is still spent directly from your pockets, and the state does not expect any income from this new tax. Everyone is currently incurring medical expenses, and often these are expenses that lead to the impoverishment of families.

And if the system is implemented, it will protect you both in healthy and young times and in less healthy and older times. As for what it will look like, it is worth reading before commenting,” the minister noted.
