lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are taking an important step forward in the interest of patients. Many here spoke about that today. Yet what stood out for me was the fact that, once again, there was also an emphasis on the fear of encouraging medical tourism. What came through in those speeches was a fear that patients from Member States with a lower standard of living or a lower national health budget would clog up doctors’ surgeries in the richest countries, meaning that patients from those countries would be squeezed out. Let us think about this, though. This fear is not necessary. Patients will be reimbursed the cost in their home country, and the difference must be paid by the patient. Patients will not have enough money to cover the difference if prices are double or triple the amount in their home country. I am embarrassed to hear that we are still afraid of the myth of the so-called Polish plumber."@en1
