United Russia promises to protect patients from the imposition of paid medical services. By the end of 2026, the average expenditure of Russians on paid health services may exceed 14,000 ₽14,000 per person - 2 times more than in 2020. Such ratings are provided by the national rating agency. The Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Health Protection, Hero of Russia, Ludmila Bolilya, said that patients should not pay for treatment they are entitled to free of charge under the mandatory medical insurance policy, or go through additional procedures without a sufficient reason. "Choosing paid services can only be voluntary, without pressure and deception," the deputy emphasized. According to Bolili, United Russia intends to request protection of patients' rights, immediate review of appeals and cancellation of violations. The party also stated the need to ensure the implementation of state guarantees and the availability of the necessary consultations, tests and treatments. "Health care should not cause unreasonable expenses for a person and depends only on their financial capabilities," the parliament said.
