It was at the Moderates' meeting two weeks ago that the party decided to appoint a working group for future care and care. The working group will, among other things, review the organization of health care, personnel supply and the main staff. Following pressure from, among other things, the MUF, the AGM also decided on a review of the tax-based financing model.

MUF: "Something is wrong with the system"

Here, the youth union has its line clear. They want to abolish the county council and finance the care with private health insurance to replace the county council tax. The model is Switzerland and the Netherlands, which have systems in which all citizens must take out health insurance.

- There are significantly shorter queues in those countries and you have less regional differences as well, since everyone is part of the same insurance system regardless of where you live in the country, says Benjamin Dousa, chairman of the MUF.

What is the problem with the tax-based model?

- That there are too few incentives for county councils and hospitals to reduce the care queues and that there are huge regional differences. We need a more uniform system with greater driving forces and more competition. It is something that is wrong with the system when we have a record number of employees in the care while the queues have doubled in a fairly short time.

How do you see the risk of people with poor finances getting trapped when switching to private insurance?

- It should not be entirely privately financed, but we should have a sufficiently good common bottom plate where everyone is involved and which everyone is involved in and finances. It is absolutely crucial that the poorest are not eliminated.

Don't have the Moderates

Before the Moderates became New Moderates, the party also wanted to abolish the county council and introduce mandatory and general health insurance. That line was abandoned more than ten years ago and according to the party, it is not relevant to go back to insurance financing.

"The important thing for us is that the wallet should not govern and that we receive tax-financed, equal and jointly financed healthcare where your background or where you live should govern," says the social policy spokesperson Camilla Waltersson Grönvall (M).

However, Benjamin Dousa from MUF hopes that the party will change.

- If they already say no, you might ask why we have this working group at all. In a welfare country like Sweden with the highest taxes in the world, one should not have to die while waiting for care, he says.

The working group will be appointed in a few months and will be ready for the meeting in 2021.
