SPÖ leader Babler wants “sweeteners” for trainee doctors
It was only last week that Vice-Chancellor and SPÖ leader Andreas Babler declared, to the surprise of many observers (including within his own party), that he wanted to have the halving of VAT reviewed. Now he is also pushing ahead with a proposal on healthcare policy - and wants to give prospective doctors who work in the public system priority when studying.
Austria stands for open access to education and a strong public healthcare system. Anyone studying medicine in this country receives an education at the highest level - supported by public funds and shared responsibility.
SPÖ leader and Vice-Chancellor Andreas Babler is now also focusing on the shared responsibility for the functioning system. In his speech, which he will give on Saturday at the regional party conference of his comrades in Vorarlberg and is already available to the "Krone", he appeals for those prospective doctors who commit to working in the "public system" for a while after graduation to be given priority in their studies.
"Not a punishment, but a contribution"
"If we as a society make it possible for young people to study medicine free of charge, if we finance their training for years, which is paid for by taxpayers' money, then it is only fair that they also work in the public healthcare system for a while after their studies. Not as a punishment. But as a contribution, as part of a fair social contract," says Babler.
As a state, we are investing in the future and the knowledge of these young people. According to Babler, this also entails a responsibility to ensure that training for individuals also benefits everyone. He wants to and will now raise the issue to government level and have all legal options examined.
