Health Insurance

Framsókn emphasises that insured individuals should have equal access to healthcare services and live in health security regardless of residence and economic status.

Framsókn emphasises the importance of having contracts in place for the services that Iceland's health insurance purchases on behalf of the state.

Framsókn welcomes the increased contribution of Health Insurance towards travel expenses following health services, which came into effect at the turn of the year. Framsókn wishes to explore the need for further contributions and ensure that the full cost of travel for individuals is covered.

Framsókn believes efforts should be made to merge the cost-sharing systems of medical services and pharmaceuticals. This would ensure that the systems communicate and that there is continuity in services, which is important for the financial security of patients. People should never have to face financial difficulties due to their illness, their children's, or their loved ones'.

Pharmaceutical Matters

Framsókn considers it important to review individual contributions to medication costs as they can be a heavy burden for those with the least resources.

Framsókn wants to ensure that individuals diagnosed with rare diseases have access to essential medications and treatment in Iceland or wherever such treatment is available.

Framsókn believes it is important to try as far as possible to ensure the supply of important medicines in the country.
