(3.7 billion euros) 2) PRO will then agree for the following years to not restore the nursing homes where the necessity has been demonstrated for 20,000 elderly people? (0.5 billion euros) 3) PRO will then agree to partially stop funding and close nursing homes? (1 billion euros) 4) PRO will then agree to a personal contribution for home care, causing people who cannot afford it to forgo necessary surgeries? (0.2 billion euros) 5) PRO will then agree to abolish housekeeping help, where only a safety net will come back? (0.4 billion euros) 6) PRO will then agree to abolish the deduction for specific healthcare costs for people with a lifelong broad limitation (0.6 billion euros), where only half of the money will come back in the reimbursement for chronic disease care costs (0.35 billion euros). 7) etc. 8) etc. 9) etc. What are you doing? @Lisawesterveld What are you doing? @JulianBushoff Why are you actually doing nothing as the leader of @FNV for healthcare? @hansspekman (translated)
