No topic has been more heated in the Czech parliament of late than mandatory health fees – defended, to varying degrees by the government, but reviled by the opposition.

On Wednesday, the parliament floor witnessed the shadow health minister David Rath and the finance minister Miroslav Kalousek trade insults: the former in words, the latter, using “the finger”. The antipathy between the two was lost on no one.
