Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-08
============================================================

Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

For the purposes of clarity, the Minister of State has repeatedly indicated that the effect of the Deputy's amendment would be to force up cover costs. Can she set out precisely how that could be the case? I have listened to the exchange and I am unclear as to how or why that claim is being made by the Minister of State.
