Political Position
The political stance is strongly value-driven, focusing on improving the health of the Estonian people and creating better treatment options. The speaker anticipates that the bill will yield a positive outcome, implicitly challenging the opposition should they fail to support this objective. The position aggressively supports the bill's objective but remains critical of the presenter's motives.

Topic Expertise
The knowledge provided is limited to general social benefits (improving health); references to data, statistics, or technical details are missing. A rather colloquial expression ("repairing") is used to describe the medical service. There is no authoritative treatment of the subject matter.

Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is aggressive and provocative, employing a loaded question that morally challenges the opposing side ("why don't you want the people of Estonia to have better health"). The speaker demands a strict format for the answer ("Because..."), which demonstrates a desire to control the narrative of the debate. The appeal is emotional and confrontational.
