Wijziging van de Zorgverzekeringswet in verband met het ongewijzigd laten van het verplicht eigen risico voor de zorgverzekering tot en met het jaar 2021

This Dutch bill amends the Health Insurance Act (Zorgverzekeringswet) so that the mandatory deductible (verplicht eigen risico) for basic health insurance stays at its existing level through 2021. The deductible is the amount insured people must pay themselves for care before their insurer covers the costs. Based on the title alone, the bill sets aside any planned increase for that period. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The bill mainly affects people insured under the Dutch basic health insurance scheme, who would continue to pay the current deductible amount. Health insurers and the national health care budget are also affected, since the deductible influences how care costs are shared.
