Omsa Law

The Ministry of Labor of Russia has prepared a bill that will oblige officially not working citizens to pay for the use of clinics and hospitals. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets at the "government hour" in the Federation Council, Interfax reports .

"Now the draft law is being developed, when those citizens who have chosen the path of non -elaborations should make a payment for actually the use of social infrastructure. There is such a draft law," said Golodets. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that Russian legislation allows the Russians not to work, in this case they do not pay insurance premiums, including the compulsory medical insurance system.

“Another part of the population should not pay contributions from the wage fund. We see such people, and these are 68 million people. In total, we have 75 million people at a working age. We see all the others: we see their list of their list and see where they live, see their age and so on. But in our state it is accepted that a person may not work at will,” the vice -premier said.

On September 6, the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko said that the regions should not pay social services for non -working citizens , those who do not indicate the place of work and do not pay taxes. Referring to the data of the Accounts Chamber, Matvienko noted that the regions annually allocate about 40 billion rubles to pay for social services for non -working Russians. "Young and healthy, it is clear that they live on something, why those who work are paid for them. Everyone should carry their own suitcase," Matvienko said.

The speaker of the SPA invited the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance to prepare the relevant amendments to the legislation in order to make changes to the Law on Compulsory medical insurance of citizens to the State Duma simultaneously with the draft federal budget for 2017. According to Matvienko, these amendments should be prepared before October 1. "It is necessary to either oblige non -working citizens to pay contributions or reduce the amount of medical care," the senator said.

On September 8, Matvienko again stated that unemployed Russians must make contributions for compulsory medical insurance. "It is necessary to reconcile: non -working citizens of working age should be on tax accounting, they must report their income. Do not reconcile so that there are no shadow income and concealment of the payment of compulsory medical insurance to the fund," Matvienko said.

At the same time, the head of the Council emphasized that the constitutional rights of the unemployed should not be violated. Matvienko also assured that the state would continue to pay for medical services for Russians who, for various reasons, cannot work, for example, pensioners and disabled people.
