lpv:spoken text	". I wholeheartedly support this report by my Socialist colleague, Michel Rocard, on the future financing of health insurance systems. At a time when the population is ageing dramatically, it is crucial that we look at improving the health care system for people across Europe. We should not undervalue the basic state provision and importance of arrangements between countries. Having been ill myself in Belgium, I have witnessed at first hand the benefits of mutual recognition of health care systems. From my own heartfelt experience, I would certainly not want to see these benefits ruined. We are asking the Commission to look at the various national health schemes and to examine ways of ensuring a fair deal for those who spend time working in another EU country. These national provisions are life-saving measures. However, if we are to have an effective system that can cope with increasing pressure on existing national services, and that makes Europe a healthier place for our citizens, then we should also recognise the importance of supplementary insurance providers. We should not discriminate against citizens applying to join private health care schemes. The health of our citizens is extremely precious. Citizens across the EU must be confident of receiving effective health care no matter which country they are in. I call on the Commission to take heed of Michel Rocard's report."@en1
