pensioner

Romania's Government will not provide next year the new social coupons only just introduced through the new education law, destined for low-income households with preschool children, will cut indemnities for veterans of the 1989 revolution and will restrict travel discounts.

Romanian pensioners requested that people with pensions below 1,500 lei (EUR1=RON4.1892) be exempt from contributing to public health services and asked the Health Ministry to explain what the contribution entails.
