PESMA ZA MAMINE OCI
Za sve besane noci
i za sve brizne oci
koje si od mene krila,
za sve uzdahe tvoje,
za oci koje se boje
za mene, majko mila,
za sve poljupce tvoje,
za ruke tvoje meke,
za reci tople, blage,
koje si saputala,
za sve, za sve ti hvala.
Za svu odsitu dugmad,
za sve nemirluke moje,
za sve porube koje si sila,
za svaku tvoju suzu
koja nije potekla,
za sve sto si mi dala,
za sve sto si mi rekla,
hvala ti, majko mila.
| Translation - English
Song for My Mother's Eyes
For all the sleepless nights
and all the worried, anxious glances
that you hid from me,
for each and every sigh welling up within you,
for those eyes fearing for me,
Dear Mother,
for all your tender kisses,
for your gentle touch,
for the words, warm and loving,
which you've whispered,
for this, for all of this,
I thank you.
For all the buttons, ripped away,
for all my fitful restless ways,
for all the hems you've sewn,
for each and every tear that's welled
but never shed,
for all that you have given me,
for all that you have told me,
I thank you so, My Dear Mother.

Geachte heer/mevrouw:
Voor het jaar 2007 blijft de verstrekking extramurale dieetadvisering ongewijzigd. Dit houdt in dat het bezoek bij de diëtist onderdeel uitmaakt van de basisverzekering. Wat houdt de basisverzekering specifiek in voor de dieetadvisering?
Basispakket
Iedereen is in principe verplicht verzekerd. Het basispakket is wettelijk vastgelegd en het is dus voor iedereen hetzelfde. In het basispakket zit bijvoorbeeld de dekking van geneeskundige hulp, geneesmiddelen of kraamzorg. Ook dieetadvisering is opgenomen in het basispakket. Op verwijzing van een arts of tandarts heeft u recht op vier uur dieetadvisering per kalenderjaar.
No-claim
Voor iedereen boven de 18 jaar geldt een no-claim. De no-claim is 255 euro per jaar.
Gebruik u het hele jaar geen enkele vorm van (para)medische zorg, dan krijgt u aan het einde van het jaar het hele bedrag van 255 euro terug. Gebruikt u slechts weinig zorg (in elk geval voor minder dan 255 euro), dan krijgt u aan het eind van het jaar het verschil tussen de werkelijk gemaakte kosten en de no-claim van 255 euro terug. Dieetadvisering gaat ten koste van uw no-claim.
Eigen risico
Het eigen risico is dat deel van de kosten van het basispakket dat voor uw eigen rekening komt. In ruil daarvoor krijgt u een korting op uw premie. Hoeveel u zelf moet betalen van uw zorgkosten, is afhankelijk van de hoogte van uw eigen risico.
| Translation - English
Dear Sir/Madame:
For the 2007 year the terms of outpatient diet and nutrition consultations remain unchanged. Visits to a diet and nutrition unit will remain a part of the national health care insurance common coverage. What coverage, specifically, does the national health care insurance common coverage allow for diet and nutrition consultations?
National health care insurance common coverage
In principle every individual will receive coverage under this compulsory insurance plan. The common health care insurance plan is a national legal requirement and consequently, the plan provides identical coverage to all individuals. The national health care insurance plan covers, for example, medical assistance, medicines and prescriptions and sick-bed care. Diet and nutrition consultations are also covered by the national health care insurance plan. With a referral from a doctor or dentist you have the right to four hours of consultation with a dietician-nutritionist per calendar year.
No-claim provision
For every individual over the age of eighteen a no-claim rebate provision is in force. This no-claim rebate amounts to a sum of 255 Euros per year. If you submit no claims for medical or paramedical care during the course of the year, at the end of the year you will receive the entire 255 Euro amount back. If you receive only minor care (for an amount less than 255 Euros in any case), then at the end of the year you will receive a rebate back of the difference between the actual costs and the 255 Euro no-claim amount. Diet and nutrition consultations are charged against your no-claim provision coverage amount.
Personal deductible
Your personal deductible is that amount of costs of the national health insurance coverage which it is your individual responsibility to fund. In consideration of your personal deductible you will receive a discount on your premiums. The amount of your health care costs that you will be required to pay for yourself depends on the amount of your own personal deductible.
