Access to Dental Care

The plan demands that healthcare is equitable and accessible regardless of where in the country one lives and places on the state an overarching responsibility for there being qualified professionals throughout the country. Targeted support to sparsely populated areas and measures that improve access to dental care throughout the country are a direct expression of this commitment, alongside the plan's requirement for a dental care reform with high-cost protection. The counter-proposal's requirements are thus supported by the plan.

• equitable care throughout the countrydecisive»Sjukvården måste vara jämlik, jämställd och tillgänglig, oavsett var i landet du bor och oavsett vem du är.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Healthcare must be equitable, equal and accessible, regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are.”
• professionals throughout the country»Staten har också ett övergripande ansvar för att det finns utbildad profession i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“The state also has an overarching responsibility for there being qualified professionals throughout the country.”
• dental reform with high-cost protection»Vänsterpartiet vill därför införa en tandvårdsförsäkring liknande den som finns inom övrig hälso- och sjukvård med ett högkostnadsskydd som gör att vuxna människor med behov inte ska behöva tacka nej till god tandvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party therefore wants to introduce dental insurance similar to that which exists within other healthcare with high-cost protection so that adult people in need do not have to decline good dental care.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan requires good services and welfare for citizens regardless of where in the country they live and a municipal equalization system for national equality, and the election manifesto establishes that the state shall be present throughout the country. Targeted support for rural areas and proposals that improve access to dental care throughout the country follow from these commitments, together with the requirement for equal dental care. The counter-proposal is supported.

• welfare throughout the countrydecisive»God service och välfärd till medborgarna oavsett var i landet de bor.« (party programme ↗)“Good services and welfare for citizens regardless of where in the country they live.”
• equal dental care»Jämlik tandvård som integreras i övrig hälso- och sjukvård.« (party programme ↗)“Equal dental care integrated into other health care.”

• present state»Staten ska finnas närvarande i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state shall be present throughout the country.”

The plan states that one must have the right to good healthcare regardless of where in the country one lives and that healthcare shall be given according to need, not according to wallet or place of residence. The counter-proposal's demand for targeted support to rural areas and measures that improve access to dental care throughout the country follows from that commitment. The plan also demands equivalent welfare across the country.

• equal healthcare across the countrydecisive»Du ska ha rätt till en bra vård, oavsett var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You must have the right to good healthcare, regardless of where in the country you live.”

The plan requires that all residents have access to equivalent and reliable welfare regardless of where they live, and that safe and close care exists throughout the country. Targeted support for rural areas and measures that improve access to practitioners where the shortage is greatest are a direct application of that commitment. The plan does not specifically mention dental care, so the conclusion is derived.

• equal welfare regardless of residencedecisive»Alla invånare ska ha tillgång till en likvärdig och pålitlig välfärd oavsett var de bor, och den offentliga servicen ska finnas där när man behöver den.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All residents shall have access to equivalent and reliable welfare regardless of where they live, and public service shall be there when needed.”

• guaranteed access to care»Alla människor ska garanteras tillgång till sjukvård, utbildning och omsorg« (party programme ↗)“All people shall be guaranteed access to healthcare, education and care”

The plan stipulates that healthcare shall be equitable regardless of residence and that public service shall be secured throughout the country, and it promises national dental care programmes for particular risk groups. Targeted support to improve access to dental care in rural areas is an application of exactly that commitment. The plan therefore speaks in favor of the counter-proposal's requirement, even though it does not mention any municipal type supplement.

• equitable healthcare regardless of residencedecisive»Vården ska vara jämlik. Var och en har rätt till god vård och omsorg oavsett bakgrund, kön, ålder, ekonomi eller bostadsort.« (party programme ↗)“Healthcare shall be equitable.

The plan establishes that all people regardless of place of residence shall have access to society's basic social rights and that healthcare shall be equal and accessible for the entire population; the election manifesto requires more health centers in rural areas. The counter-proposal's requirement for targeted support to sparsely populated areas and proposals that improve access to dental care throughout the country is an application of this. The plan also supports state equalization for geographical and structural differences.

The plan promises that welfare shall work regardless of where in the country one lives and wishes to establish a national care broker service that directs patients to where there is spare capacity. It also establishes that all of Sweden must work for people to be able to live and work there. This supports the demand for measures that improve access to dental care in sparsely populated areas, even though dental care is not mentioned specifically.

• likvärdig välfärd i hela landetdecisive»Du ska kunna känna dig trygg med att välfärden fungerar oavsett var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“You should be able to feel secure that welfare works regardless of where in the country you live.”

The plan requires well-developed healthcare accessibility throughout Sweden and that citizens have the right to good and accessible care even outside the major cities. The counter-proposal's demand for targeted support to rural areas and measures that improve dental care access throughout the country follow from that principle, reinforced by the plan wanting to equate dental care with other care. The shortage of healthcare providers in rural areas is precisely the regional imbalance the plan wants to counteract.

• care even outside major citiesdecisive»Sverigedemokraterna anser att medborgare i ett högskatteland har rätt att förvänta sig en god och tillgänglig sjukvård, även utanför storstäderna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats believe that citizens in a high-tax country have the right to expect good and accessible healthcare, even outside the major cities.”
