Posłanka Katarzyna Piekarska, członek klubu Odpowiedzialnej Polski (KO), zasłabła w trakcie debaty w Sejmie w czwartek, 19 czerwca 2026, po wypowiedziach, które dotyczyły oskarżeń o korzystanie z uprzywilejowanego traktowania w warszawskim Szpitalu Południowym. W trakcie dyskusji z politykami PiS, Piekarska wdała się w konfrontację, w której oskarżała ich o publikację grafiki przedstawiającej listę lekarzy, którzy, według opinii PiS, korzystali z usług szpitala poza kolejką. W efekcie, w trakcie głosowania, Piekarska zasłabła i osunęła się na sejmowe ławy. Z pomocą innych posłów i funkcjonariuszy Straży Marszałkowskiej opuściła salę obrad. W piątek, 20 czerwca, posłanka pojawiła się w Sejmie, gdzie odpowiadała na pytania medialne. W odpowiedzi na pytanie, co wydarzyło się poprzedniego dnia, Piekarska powiedziała, że działania PiS podniosły jej ciśnienie, a „myślę, że każdy ma swój taki próg, poza który jak się wychodzi, to po prostu nie daje rady”.
Piekarska wyjaśniła, że oskarżenia PiS dotyczą jej korzystania z uprzywilejowanego traktowania w szpitalu, jednak podkreśliła, że nigdy nie była tam w trakcie leczenia. Podkreślała, że jest w procedurze leczenia takiej samej jak inne pacjentki, a że nie ma żadnych dokumentów potwierdzających te oskarżenia. W odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy może prześledzić miejsce, gdzie leczy się, Piekarska odmówiła, sugerując, że informacje te są dostępne w mediach społecznościowych. Dodatkowo, Piekarska wspomniała, że posłowie PiS Rafał Bochenek przeprosił ją w wiadomości prywatnej, za co podziękowała, ale uważała, że oskarżenia powinny być publicznie przeprosione.
W kontekście tych wydarzeń, Sejm uchwalił ustawę, która umożliwia Agencji Oceny Technologii Medycznych i Taryfikacji (AOTMiT) gromadzenie danych o wynagrodzeniach lekarzy po numerze PESEL lub numerze prawa wykonywania zawodu (PWZ). Ustawa została uchwalona w trybie ekspresowym, po ujawnieniu przez portal Zero.pl informacji o lekarzu Dawidzie Kacprzyku, który zarobił 1,6 mln zł w trakcie specjalizacji, pracując głównie w publicznych placówkach. W trakcie debaty w Sejmie, posłowie z Prawa i Sprawiedliwości (PiS) głosowali za ustawą, a 177 posłów wstrzymało się od głosu. Poprawki, które dotyczyły wprowadzenia obowiązku publikowania konkursów ofert w systemie teleinformatycznym, zostały odrzucone.
Prezes AOTMiT podkreślał, że nie ma intencji śledzenia konkretnego człowieka, ale pokazywanie rzetelnych analiz zmian w systemie wynagrodzeń. Dane, które zostaną zbierane, mają pomóc w lepszym zarządzaniu systemem opieki zdrowotnej. Z kolei, rzecznik Naczelnej Izby Lekarskiej Jakub Kosikowski ostrzegał, że narzucenie sztywnego limitu wynagrodzeń lub stawki godzinowej może pogłębić kryzys szpitali, szczególnie w regionach wiejskich.
W międzyczasie, media i środowiska polityczne dyskutowali, czy nowe przepisy są odpowiednie, czy mogą prowadzić do ograniczenia wolności lekarzy. Eksperty wskazywały, że choć zbieranie danych o wynagrodzeniach lekarzy jest istotne, samo zebranie danych nie wystarczy – potrzebne są dalsze działania naprawcze. W tym kontekście, Sejm uchwalił ustawę, a teraz będzie ona omawiana w Senacie, a następnie trafi na biurko prezydenta. W międzyczasie, Marszałek Sejmu Włodzimierz Czarzasty w rozmowie z Bogdanem Rymanowskim w programie „Śniadanie Rymanowskiego” poruszył kwestię wynagrodzeń lekarzy, podkreślając, że to ważne temat, który wymaga dalszych działań.
