Klaus vetoes health law

President Vaclav Klaus has vetoed a bill on that would have substantial changes in the health care sector, the president's spokesman Petr Hajek said on Friday. Mr Klaus was reportedly critical of the bill - backed by health Minister David Rath - because in his view it would have unjustly centralised key decisions on agreements between health facilities and health insurance companies in the hands of the health minister - denying contractual freedom. The bill is the fourth that Mr Klaus vetoed in recent days; following general elections his decision can not be overridden by the lower house.
