Cologne health insurance requires additional contributions

Cologne - an astronomical sum: € 14 million paid by the insurance GBK Cologne in 2005 and 2006 cost for the treatment of two hemophilia patients - only a syringe, according to the fund up to 27,000 Euro!
Statutory funds must also include these patients. But the building costs (30,000 members) was almost bankrupt, and now additional contributions raised by its members.
 In fact, the most expensive hemophiliacs permanent strains in the health system, "said SPD-health expert Karl Lauterbach. "Especially the little cash can hardly afford the cost of treatment."
 The GBK obviously had special "pitch": The two cases of hemophilia, a boy (6) and a 26-year-old, were extremely expensive. "In 2005 we paid only for the man 10 million euros for the drugs," said board member Helmut Wasserfuhr GBK.
Damn lot of money - a legacy of blood action is really so expensive? "Come on it, it's how difficult the disease is and whether there will be complications," said Dr. Johannes Oldenburg, director of the hemophilia clinic at the University of Bonn.
Hemophilia clotting factors get injected - that normally would cost 100000-200000 € per year. "There are patients who are allergic to contrast. There are only two medications that can help them - and they are extremely expensive, "says Oldenburg. Up to 14,000 € per day, often for several weeks.
Enormous cost - but just 10 million? Werner Kalnins, the chairman of the German Hemophilia Society does that prick up their ears: "I have seen individual cases of 3, maybe 4 million euros in well known, but no more. And of syringes, which cost € 27,000 per unit, I have never heard. "
The GBK had to make debts. To pay off her, the members pay from 20 September eight euros more. The 26-year-old patient in the meantime the engineers health insurance.
"Additional contributions will not be with us," said spokeswoman Andrea Breuer for small EXPRESS. "With more than 5 million paying members, the solidarity absorb these costs differently."
