The ruling and opposition parties agree to start deliberating the bill on April 2nd on the “Support Subsidy System” to counter the declining birthrate. Regarding the "support system" collected through public medical insurance, the government has revealed the estimated calculations for each type of insurance.

"I think they are trying to make it appear that the cost does not exceed 1,000 yen per person," said a representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan. "The people will trust you more than if you add a lot of substance to your story and tell a different story," said another.
