Health Minister says forced administration of VZP could end by May

Forced administration of the country's largest state-owned health insurance company VZP could be terminated by May 1st. Health Minister David Rath said in a televised debate Sunday that this was realistic on condition that the company's insurance plan was completed by that date so as to prevent funds being siphoned off. The minister said that when forced administration ended the insurance company's close to 14 billion crown debt would have been reduced to 5 billion.
