Write-off of student loans

The plan demands fair and accessible care regardless of where in the country one lives and dental care that people are not forced to say no to. The party programme explicitly opens for targeted state support outside the equalization system to rural areas. To test reduced study debts for dentists in sparsely populated areas is such a targeted regional policy instrument, but the plan does not mention cancellation of student loans.

• fair 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 fair, equal and accessible, regardless of where in the country you live and regardless of who you are.”
• targeted state support to rural areas»Det ska vara möjligt att ge riktade statliga stöd utanför utjämningssystemet, t.ex. till utflyttningskommuner, landsbygd och storstäders miljonprogramsområden.« (party programme ↗)“It should be possible to provide targeted state support outside the equalization system, e.g. to depopulation municipalities, rural areas and large cities' million program areas.”
• accessible dental care»Vänsterpartiet vill därför införa en tandvårdsförsäkring liknande den som finns inom övrig hälso- och sjukvård« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party therefore wants to introduce dental care insurance similar to that which exists within other health and medical 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 states that the state has a responsibility to secure competence supply and that the link between education and society's personnel needs shall be strengthened, and that all residents throughout the country shall have equivalent access to care. Investigating reduced study loans for dentists in sparsely populated areas is such a means for competence supply throughout the country. However, the plan names no write-off instrument, which is why the support is inferred.

• state responsibility for competence supplydecisive»Staten har ett ansvar för att säkra kompetensförsörjningen, inte minst i välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state has a responsibility to secure competence supply, not least in welfare.”
• equivalent care throughout the country»Alla invånare i hela landet ska ha likvärdig tillgång till skola, vård och omsorg.« (party programme ↗)“All residents throughout the country shall have equivalent access to school, care and welfare services.”

The plan demands good care regardless of where in the country you live and that dental care is placed on an equal footing with other healthcare, which requires that there are dentists also in rural and sparsely populated areas. Investigating reduced student loans as a way to staff rural dental care is in line with that, as is the goal of highly qualified jobs throughout the country. The plan, however, says nothing about write-off of student loans, which is why the assessment is uncertain.

• dental care as other healthcare»att tandvården ska jämställas med övrig hälso- och sjukvård, och ingå i samma högkostnadsskydd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that dental care shall be placed on an equal footing with other healthcare and included in the same cost limit.”
• qualified jobs throughout the country»Ett fungerande samhälle bygger på välfärd, utveckling och högkvalificerade jobb i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“A functioning society is built on welfare, development and highly qualified jobs throughout the country.”
• publicly funded dental care»Tandvården ska ha samma villkor som övrig vård och ska därför vara en del av den offentligt finansierade vården och ingå i ett gemensamt högkostnadsskydd.« (party programme ↗)“Dental care shall have the same conditions as other healthcare and shall therefore be part of publicly funded care and included in a common cost limit.”

The plan already uses education debt write-off as a tool to recruit qualified personnel across the country, including teachers. It also requires safe and accessible care and support regardless of where one lives and sees the development of the entire country as a matter of justice. To investigate reduced education debts for dentists in rural and sparsely populated areas is the same tool for the same purpose, and the plan therefore supports the requirement.

• education debt write-off as recruitment tooldecisive»Med hjälp av fler vägar in i läraryrket och studiemedelsavskrivning kan vi rekrytera fler behöriga lärare i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“With help from several entry routes into teaching and education debt write-off we can recruit more qualified teachers across the country.”

The plan requires equitable care regardless of place of residence and that no one should be forced to refrain from dental care, and it already uses targeted benefits to make shortage areas attractive to professionals, for example better wages and employment terms for teachers in difficult schools. To investigate reduced student loans for dentists in rural and sparsely populated areas follows the same logic. The plan says nothing about writing off student loans, so the conclusion is inferred and uncertain.

• accessible dental care»Ingen ska tvingas avstå från tandvård på grund av låg inkomst.« (party programme ↗)“No one should be forced to refrain from dental care due to low income.”
• targeted incentives to shortage areas»Det behöver därför bli mer attraktivt för lärare att söka sig till sådana skolor« (party programme ↗)“It therefore needs to become more attractive for teachers to apply to such schools”
• eased student loan repayment»För dig som studerat och tagit studielån vill vi dessutom införa en femårig CSN-paus, så att du när du vill ska kunna ta ett uppehåll från din återbetalning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For you who have studied and taken out a student loan we also want to introduce a five-year CSN pause, so that when you wish you can take a break from your repayment.”

The plan establishes that all regardless of residence shall have access to the society's basic social rights and wants more surgeries in the countryside so that healthcare is nearby. Regional policy shall in the first place use general means but can be supplemented with targeted measures, which encompasses an investigation into reduced student loans for dentists in sparsely populated areas.

The election manifesto already uses student loan write-off as a recruitment tool for an occupation with shortage, through the promise to write off student loans for someone who starts working as a police officer, and combines it with targeted salary initiatives. The plan also establishes that welfare shall function regardless of where in the country you live. To investigate reduced student debt for dentists in rural and sparsely populated areas follows from the same logic, although dentists are not specifically mentioned.

The plan states that citizens in a high-tax country have the right to good and accessible care even outside the major cities, and that dental care should be offered on the same terms as other care. Testing a tool that gets dentists to work in rural and sparsely populated areas serves exactly that goal. The plan does not mention student loans, but the direction follows from the commitment to care throughout the country.

• 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.”
