The Minister of Public Health, Frank Vandenbroucke (Vooruit), wishes to increase the moderator for drugs.
The increase could go up to 2 euros, reports from Morgen on Friday, who was able to consult a note from the minister.
The note was discussed Thursday in an interfederal working group and introduced a limit for the first time: now, no more than 17 % of the care budget could be devoted to drugs.
People benefiting from an increased reimbursement would pay at least 1 additional euro, the other 2 euros.
Certain drugs, such as antacids and cholesterol drugs, would also be less reimbursed, unless they are deemed essential for life.
