The party wants to legislate that healthcare providers should not mix insurance patients and tax-financed care or give insurance patients priority, party leader Magdalena Andersson and group leader Lena Hallengren announced at a press conference.

We want healthcare that is so good that no one feels the need for private healthcare insurance, says Magdalena Andersson.

They cannot say how extensive the problem of displacement is, but they believe it is a problem that a parallel system is being built.

They also want to abolish what is called the online doctor tax.

Online doctor companies should not be able to maximise their profits by choosing simple visits, says Lena Hallengren.
