He admits that it is not possible to accept anything what happens in the EU today with enthusiasm. However, the ODS´s nationalist stance is alarming.
Moreover, the ODS leaders and supporters have a fixed idea of the ODS being considered an equivalent of Ryanair and its Eurosceptical head Michael O´Leary, which is not the case, Sidlo writes.
Unlike O´Leary, who has created the most successful airlines in the world, the ODS has actually not submitted any brilliant concept that would serve as a model example for Europe and protect it from current problems and that the comparable European countries could follow, Sidlo points out.
The ODS´s "Eurorealistic" alternative in practice means that the Czech Republic should keep profiting from all advantages connected with the EU membership, primarily high European subsidies, while Brussels´ control of the Czech budget parameters would restrict the country´s sovereignty in an unacceptable way, Sidlo writes in HN.
"Health is better than pre-pensions," Pavel Paral writes in Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) today, commenting on the Labour and Social Affairs Ministry´s plan to enable pre-pensions for all professions.
Originally the system introducing earlier retirement age should apply to some professions in which work is physically hard or dangerous. Employers would be obliged to contribute to these pre-pensions, while the state would give them generous reliefs, Paral recalls.
However, the ministry´s new intention did not please employers since they would be under the pressure of trade unions to contribute to pre-pensions of the broadest possible group of employees.
Paral points out that the "obligatory rise in the labour price" would lower demand for labour forces. More pensioners would retire healthy then, which should be the meaning of similar measures, Paral writes in conclusion.
Not the quality of care but money is a long-term problem of the Czech health care system but patients´ willingness to pay extra for anything is not endless, Martin Zverina writes in the daily Lidove noviny (LN) today.
He reminds of the most recent dispute about fees that maternity hospitals collect for the father´s presence during a child delivery, which some lawyers qualify as the violation of patients´ rights and threaten with lawsuits.
Though the patients´ extra payment for care has been rising and health insurance companies are running out of money, no one can claim that health care services have considerably improved.
Though doctors still complain about low salaries and threaten with further protests, neither the Doctors´ Chamber (CLK) nor the doctors´s unions do anything to prevent corruption in hospitals, which even the most respected medicine professors admit, Zverina notes.
He adds that patients are willing to pay to buy a feeling that they can get individual care.
If this pernicious system of corruption is not halted, the quality of care will be a problem sooner or later, and then money will be at stake but this time lawyers will charge it, Zverina concludes in LN. Author: CTK
