Health Insurance Data

We are operating on the basis of aspiration rather than concrete or tangible evidence of risk equalisation working. The fact no consideration has been given to any alteration of the regulatory regime seems to rule out an important and relevant option. While it is some relief that the Minister has seen the Matheson report, it is bizarre that the chief effective officer of the VHI has not seen it. Will the Minister share that report with the House, so that those interested in this topic will be able to analyse some of its proposals, particularly as we move towards universal health insurance? I cannot understand why the report is suppressed.
