Slovak insurer Dôvera to pay taxes/fines from health funds; ex-regulator warns of US-style model

Former Slovak health regulator Renáta Bláhová criticizes Dôvera's acquisition of Union, alleging the state capitulated to Penta and that the insurer will use health contributions to pay taxes and fines. She warns this moves Slovakia toward a US-style healthcare model and calls on ÚDZS to halt the deal. The claim is an opinion from a former official, not yet corroborated by official actions.
