The opposition Blue and White Party has taken aim at healthcare privatization

As elections approach, the opposition Blue and White Party has taken aim at healthcare privatization. “The party platform has harsh words for the state of the national health services, accusing the current government of failing to properly plan ahead, primarily with regards to medical manpower, insufficient budgets and ‘creeping privatization,’ putting the medical system in a deep crisis. The lines are getting longer and the patients are neglected,” it states. (…) The party says that it seeks to ‘increase investment in health infrastructure and expenditures on public health services.’ They mention building more hospitals, increasing the amount of physicians and medical workers, and guaranteeing five years of nursing care insurance for all citizens.”
