According to ‘Test-aankoop’ the premiums for the hospitalization-insurance are too high. That is why they decided to launch a petition with the goal to encourage the Government to create a legal system that will stop the evolution of the premiums of the hospitalization-insurance.
‘Test-aankoop’ claims that the hospitalization-insurance has become a necessary supplement with social security, that is why it has to stay affordable. But people with this insurance have seen their premiums risen with 30 to 300 percent.

There is a law from 2007 that says that the premiums have to advance together with the medical index, so the increase of the premiums is a result of not practising this law. Besides that the big insurers begin deliberate with a low premium and as people get older the premiums shoot up because the insured people are too old to change from insurance company. That is what ‘test-aankoop’ says.
So ‘test-aankoop’ launched a petition on their website and the goal is to maintain affordable premiums.
I think that if the premiums will get too high, people will not take a hospitalization-insurance anymore because it will get to expensive. So when somebody gets involved in an accident and they do not have this insurance, they will have to pay themselves. And maybe they can’t pay it so they will end up with debts. So I think that a hospitalization-insurance has to be obligated and affordable for everyone.

In my opinion the government really has to do something about the high premiums of the hospitalization-insurance. This insurance is to important. Actually the people cannot without one. It is to dangerous! When people end up in hospital the bill increases very fast. It can come to enormous amounts, amounts people cannot pay if they have no hospitalization-insurance. They will end up with a lot of debts.
