15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The criticism is directed at the healthcare system’s deficient planning (including demand-driven treatment and inadequate quality control) and the minister’s overly narrow focus on prevention at the expense of treatment quality. The specific legislative proposal (the VAT reduction) is being opposed due to its lack of clarity and the resulting inequity compared to other severe diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis). The criticism is focused on policy and procedure, not on the individual.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
Direct opponents are not criticized; instead, potential objections are addressed (such as the fear that people will start gaming the system), noting that the Minister of Health did not perceive this danger. The criticism is directed more toward the draft's unambitious timeline rather than its substantive direction.
