I am against private health insurance. Society must offer good and fast care that is equal for everyone.
But the trend seems to be that we will need private health insurance in order to receive full quality care. Sahlgrenska has already started to cut back on several types of important operations as part of streamlining and savings. The left-wing national economist Johan Lönnroth predicts that this is a development we will see across the whole country in the future. The tax revenue will not be enough if the income tax is not raised to over 40%.
If we move towards such a development, we must ensure that the private health insurance companies cannot refuse a sick person to take out private health insurance. Everyone must be able to take out comprehensive private healthcare insurance at a reasonable cost, regardless of their state of health at the time of signing the insurance.
There must be some justice!
