Belgian unions and health groups propose €750M emergency health financing plan

Six Belgian organizations, including FGTB, Solidaris, and hospital federation Santhéa, proposed a five-point emergency plan to raise over €565 million by 2027 and up to €750 million annually by 2029, focusing exclusively on new revenue to preserve health insurance financing. The plan cites OECD data indicating Belgian patients pay more out-of-pocket than neighboring countries. The proposal is a policy initiative, not yet adopted, and its impact depends on political uptake.
