Poland's cabinet approved a draft bill regulating the payment of health insurance premiums for farmers, which says that for each conversion hectare of arable land, the premium will be PLN 1 monthly.

The proposed solutions shall apply from 1st January to 31st December 2012 and are temporary in nature. This is because the final changes calls for the reconstruction of the tax system for farmers who do not operate in special branches of agricultural production.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the changes to the rules of payment of health insurance for farmers, which is a result from a ruling of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal issued in October 2010, which questioned the public funding of health premiums for farmers, regardless of their financial status.
