Katarzyna Sójka accused Donald Tusk's government of manipulating public opinion after the brutal murder of a 37-year-old woman. She claimed that the prime minister directed attention to cybersecurity and the presidential veto to divert it away from issues related to child psychiatry. As she wrote, in the nineteen-minute speech of the head of the government, there were no words concerning psychiatry, therapy, the National Health Fund, or treatment; instead, he spoke about the internet, cybercrime, and blocking content. Sójka assessed that a free support hotline cannot replace systemic care, available spots in hospitals, or pharmacotherapy. She also accused the government of educational sabotage. In her opinion, the offer for children in "100 specifics" was limited to the elimination of homework and the removal of textbooks for the History and Citizenship subject, and the lack of obligations and boundaries negatively affected the development of children. The MP wrote that the Medical Fund, in which — as she reported — 8 billion zlotys were left, was reduced to 2 billion instead of receiving the annual statutory 4 billion. She also claimed that due to the lack of limits in the National Health Fund, children's therapies were interrupted. By comparison, she stated that in 2022 and 2023 her camp allocated nearly 5 billion zlotys for school psychological care and doubled the number of specialists to nearly 43 thousand. She believed that the government was using the topic of cybersecurity to hide its own incompetence. #psychiatria #bezpieczeństwo #edukacja (translated)

Adam Czarnecki wrote that Przemysław Czarnek wanted a programmer on a B2B contract earning 30,000 PLN a month to pay a lower contribution to the National Health Fund than a cashier in a supermarket receiving the minimum wage on an employment contract. Czarnecki called it the elimination of Mateusz Morawiecki's mistake and ironically praised the Law and Justice party for their approach to justice and solidarity. #sprawiedliwość #solidarność #Polska (translated)
Szymon Jadczak wrote that the savings of the National Health Fund and the Ministry of Health on the salaries of inspectors, which he described as amounting to thousands, were supposed to lead to losses counted in millions due to detected irregularities.

Szymon Jadczak wrote that neurosurgeon Łukasz Grabarczyk received 946 PLN from the county hospital in Pisz for a spinal procedure lasting from 5 to 19 minutes. According to the author, over the course of three years, he performed 2241 such procedures there, working 3–4 days per month. Jadczak reported that an audit by the National Health Fund (NFZ) revealed that patients returned home after a short observation, while the hospital billed them as if they had been hospitalized. For 2023, the facility was to reimburse 670,849.20 PLN. The audit covered one year and one hospital, although — as Jadczak wrote — Grabarczyk performed these procedures in at least three facilities and was still expected to continue doing so. The author accused the NFZ of failing to notify the National Prosecutor's Office of suspected criminal activity or to check subsequent years and other hospitals. According to Jadczak, Grabarczyk intimidated the NFZ inspector and completely challenged the findings, emphasizing that the audit concerned the hospital, not him. He referred to the post-audit report as an "institutional sewage." Jadczak added that the doctor was litigating with the hospital over over 730,000 PLN in unpaid invoices. The author recalled that Grabarczyk managed a company operating the "Budzik" Clinic for Adults in Warsaw. He also wrote that in 2024, Wirtualna Polska published an article in which he described a fabricated story about a doctor working in a hospital in Ukraine. The entry indicated that the material was also prepared by Jan Czura. https://t.co/yUiWuSntkt https://t.co/yUiWuSntkt #lekarskaafera #NFZ #zdrowie (translated)

Zbigniew Bogucki wrote that President Karol Nawrocki's decisions were guided by the principle "first Poland, first Poles." He quoted Nawrocki's statement saying that last December the government expected 3 billion zlotys from the presidential fund, and Nawrocki transferred the funds to the National Health Fund (NFZ). Bogucki accused Donald Tusk's government of exerting pressure on fuel prices affecting Polish families, farmers, and transport companies. He claimed that the government was counting on the rejection of the law and continuing to profit from taxes and fuel margins. He reported that Nawrocki signed the law regarding excess profits of fuel corporations and attributed full responsibility for fuel prices to the government. #Polska #Prezydent #Polacy (translated)
