Finance Bill 2010 (Certified Money Bill): Committee Stage.
11:00 am
Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
The Senator is right in the first part of his contribution. This is designed to ensure older people who would be a high risk in health insurance would not have to pay much higher premiums. It will address the issues raised in the court. It is a temporary measure for three years until other legislation on a further scheme is introduced.
