Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
While it may sound fine to describe this measure as a short Bill aimed at facilitating the early submission of a draft risk equalisation scheme, I see it as a short Bill aimed at stifling competition, propping up the VHI and keeping any further competition out of the market. That is a bad move for the consumer, the health market in general and future competition. I ask the House to take those concerns on board.
