“Health insurance is crushing people and companies”
“the Agency’s rules force business owners to give up”
“Aftonbladet’s leader board is the independent social democrat.”
“Peter Johansson from Örebro is the sweep. In June last year he was out on a routine mission when the bracket to the ladder released. In the case broke Johansson both legs. The rehabilitation process has taken time, among other things because of an infection, but now he is on the mend.”
“at the same time the social Insurance agency announced that Peter Johansson is no longer entitled to sickness benefit. According to the fund’s rules, it is time to seek a different job after 180 days of sick leave.”
“So far, this is just the same story as we told you many times in the past. The so-called rehabiliteringstrappan which sets fixed time limits on when sick leave may be forced to seek another job – real or imaginary – forces people to give up a skills society actually has great need of.”
“the Company has seven employees”
“It’s special in Peter Johansson’s case is that he not only is the sweep, he runs the company PJ’s Fire and Vent with seven employees. It is the confederation of Swedish Enterprise news service fPlus that tells the story”
“The square of the application of the insurance schedule will become not only a threat to Johansson, personally, and his future career, but also to the employees in his company.”
“To the confederation of Swedish Enterprise newsletter says Johansson that he thinks that the rules should be changed. It may not be the intention that a company should have to be put down to the owner becomes injured.”
“No, it should not be. And indeed, it may not be the intention that employees affected by disease or damaged in their job should be forced to give up their profession, therefore, that the rehabilitation dragged on for some time or because it is stuck in the care queues.”
“the Insurance provides temporary supply”
“health Insurance should be a temporary supply so far all agree. Most of them are probably in addition, that the sick sometimes have to go to change jobs to be able to get back in the workforce.”
“But from there, it is far to today’s situation, where people regularly fall between the Employment service and the Agency’s chairs, and where sick persons are encouraged to seek jobs which all know does not exist.”
“Annika Strandhäll has described the criticism of the health insurance and social Insurance as some sort of educational failure. It is time to realize that no one pedagogy of values can justify a system where people are mistreated and businesses going under unnecessarily.”
