Because it was a bad design ...

Just a few days ago, the minister of health assured that the ministry was working on a draft for the bill to be passed by the Sejm before the end of September. This, in practice, would mean that the enormously controversial set of regulations would have to be worked out by MPs within two weeks - because the Sejm holidays will end in mid-September.

It has been known for a long time, however, that in Law and Justice it is in vain to look for enthusiasts of solutions advocated by Adam Niedzielski. And it is not about the reluctance to establish another government agency - this is what the members of the United Right could, it seems, be able to live peacefully. Politicians spend a nightmare in the categorization of hospitals, the natural and obvious consequence of which is to identify those that require such profound changes that if these are carried out, the profile of the facility will completely change. From an acute hospital in most likely a long-term care provider. Indeed, this is the idea behind the draft resolution of the Council of Ministers that appeared in recent days, and these were the announcements of the Ministry of Health.

Perhaps - perhaps even for sure, and not perhaps - there is also a need. It's just that PiS does not want to take political responsibility and pay political bills for the reform of hospitality (to be fair, no government wanted to), especially one that directly involves the liquidation, if not entire hospitals, of a significant part of wards and beds. She must assume that is her logic. Politicians do not want the more, the closer to the election - and at the moment it is very close to them (even assuming that Jarosław Kaczyński will not decide to accelerate the elections and hold them in November or early December, which would be the last moment, If the government wanted to avoid the "general frost" and its consequences, i.e. heating costs, which - everything indicates - will turn out to be, nomen omen, chilling for Poles. 2024 - assuming that PiS will extend the term of local governments by one year after the holidays - we will face very difficult local elections and elections to the European parliament (not very important for the political scene, unlike politicians), and a year later - presidential elections.

The bill on hospitality can be assumed, it will die for political reasons and lack of support in the ruling camp. And it should, for substantive reasons, "because it was a bad project", travesting the famous phrase from the cult film. Because if the minister of health cites the financial crisis as a circumstance explaining the withdrawal from some provisions, then yes - it is an argument against the act. But not because the ARS would sting people in the eye with profligacy, but because the years 2022-2024 will be, it must be assumed, sometimes serious financial perturbations in health care, and many healthcare entities will run into serious problems. Not his fault, and certainly not only and not most of all.
