studies on a contract basis or at the expense of the state budget and who will be employed on the basis of the allocation issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Social Protection57. One of the issues addressed by the People's Advocate in 2018 refers to the citizens of the Republic of Moldova who receive pensions abroad, but cannot benefit from the compulsory health insurance premium free of charge due to the lack of normative regulations in Law no. 1585/1998 on compulsory health insurance. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Social Protection58 informed the Ombudsman about the availability of examining the opportunity to amend the legislation to remedy the legislative deficiency with regard to these categories of persons, but so far no amendments have been made to the relevant regulatory framework. At the beginning of 2020, a group of deputies 59 submitted as a legislative initiative the draft law amending Article 4 of Law no. 1585/1998 on compulsory health insurance. Through the targeted draft law it is proposed to amend the legislation in order to obtain by the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, who benefit from a pension from another state, medical care according to the Single Program of compulsory health insurance. Also, the People's Advocate considers that the list of persons insured by the Government60 should include uninsured persons, who take care of a child up to the age of 2 years old. The People's Advocate in his proposal 61 submitted to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Social Protection proposed to examine the opportunity of inclusion in Art. 4 paragraph (4) of Law no. 1585 of 27.02.1998 on compulsory health insurance of uninsured persons, who care for a child up to the age of 2 years old, in order for them to benefit from free medical care, according to the Single Program of compulsory health insurance. In a much more critical situation are the lonely people (uninsured), who take care of the child until the age of 2 years old. In cases where they benefit from an allowance of 640 MDL / per month62 with which they have to survive with the child, it is easy to understand that such persons do not have a real possibility to pay the compulsory health insurance premium. Moreover, the European Committee of Social Rights pointed out that the situation of the Republic of Moldova is not in accordance with Article 13 §1 of the European Social Charter, 57 Art.11 of Law no. 411/1995 on health care; Letter from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Protection 01-5696 of 24.08.2018; 59 file:///D:/EU%20doc/EU/Activitate/pentru%20control/lucru%20cu%20Sveta/Raport%20anual%202019/medical/33. 2020.ro.pdf; 60 Art.4 paragraph (4) of Law no. 1585/1998 on compulsory health insurance is made from the state budget account; 61 Letter of the People's Advocate no. 04-2 / 23 of 11.11.2019; 62 Annex no. 2 of the Government Decision no. 1478 of 15.11.2002 on allowances for families with children; 58 38
