The government wants to change the levels for the high-cost protection for medicines from July 2025. According to the current model, you get a certain discount on medicines after paying SEK 1,425 over a year. If you exceed SEK 2,850, the medicine is free for the patient.
The state’s costs for medicines have increased by 20 percent in the last two years. Now the government wants to raise the lower limit for when they get a discount for the patient. According to information to Ekot, it is about an increase of SEK 500-600 for the lower limit, but it is not something that Acko Ankarberg Johansson wants to confirm.
– I can’t say now how it will turn out, but we know that it is about half a billion more that needs to be added to the state budget next year. I see that we have broad parliamentary support to do this, she tells the radio.
