The care insurers Ohra and delta Lloyd wants will offer their insured people health tests. That can be a good idea.
Ohra and delta kondigden Lloyd last week in this newspaper to a test wants do with health test. In the first place for their own employees, afterwards possibly for already their insured people. Those can choose then annually medically to leave itself researches on many attentive disorders as a heart - and vaatziekten and stipulated forms of cancer. The ministry of public health did not seem glad with the notice. For this reason preventive testing on forms of cancer falls under the law on population research, let the ministry know, and demands a license.

That holding back response strikes as remarkably. Weren't this ministry and this cabinet the large lawsuit deliverymen of market forces in the care? Proponents of market forces must be surprised not crazily as care insurers not only to look at to insuring medical interventions, but also to the prevention of it. Those proponents that even must welcome.

Apart from those market forces there the question lies or there principi? objections are against the health tests which Ohra want delta offer and Lloyd. Are we busy medicalise living terribly? Do we keep the right for n? want know what us has something up? The annual gezondheidscheck will that insurers lead and employers will keep out the weaknesses and sent will select?

In theory is is that all possible. But the plan of the care insurers is with that not bad. There must be watched only one couple clear conditions. health tests must remain a possibility and no duty become. And the results of those tests must remain confidential medical information which the doctor only with its pati? does not share and with his employer or care insurer.
Everyone agrees that we spend much money on the health care. The restriction of it lies in the hands of people themselves, which more healthily could live. She lies in the hands of the government, which much can do a healthier propagate lifestyle. But it is not at all crazy if also the insurers become active in the prevention of disorders. That can do us, however.
