Medicine and visits to the doctor will become marginally more expensive next year if the government is allowed to push through a proposal to increase the ceiling for the medical benefits package.
- Swedish lobbying boom prompts regulation calls (16 May 13)
- Profit dip for Swedish drugmakers AstraZeneca (31 Jan 13)
- Doctors warn Swedes are abusing painkillers (17 Jan 13)
But the proposal will face considerable opposition: vice chairman of the Left Party, Ingrid Burman told the paper that her party would vote against it.
"We all know who the biggest consumers of healthcare and medicine are. As a rule, it's old people who often have low pensions. We don't think it's reasonable."
