A plenary session of the House on Monday completed voting on the bill, which largely remained intact. Debate had centered on Article 40, which outlines how the state health insurance scheme would be financed, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsanews.com\/2017\/12\/18\/1073096?null\">Al Borsa reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MPs also shortened the timeline for rolling out the system nationwide<\/strong> to 11-13 years from 15 year, starting with the Canal cities and Sinai, said Finance Minister Amr El Garhy, who attended the debates in the House along with Vice Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait. <strong>The bill is expected to be signed into law and published on the Official Gazette early in 2018<\/strong>, El Garhy added. The minister hinted the implementation phase would begin in July, at the start of the 2018-19 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to<strong> setting up three regulators<\/strong> to manage and monitor the new system, key highlights of the bill include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><strong>Cost to business, part I: <\/strong>The bill will set premiums for employers of 4% of each employee\u2019s monthly salary. Employees will pay premiums of only 1% of their salary into the system. An employee will have to pay a premium of 3% of his or her salary to cover an unemployed spouse and 1% for each child.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost to business, part II: <\/strong>All companies, whether private or public and regardless of size, will have to pay a 0.25% tax on their sales revenues to help fund the system. This had been lowered from 0.5% and from what hearing from the press, it would appear that this tax would replace reported tithes on construction materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthcare industry tax: <\/strong>Hospitals and clinics will pay a tax of EGP 1,000 for every bed they have.
