I'm continuing my work comparing the different Swedish parties so I know what I'm voting for on the 9th of September. This time I have looked a little closer on the topic of "Health Care".
I have chosen to look at each party's website where the party's vision and policies are laid out. In my opinion, these websites are the first place a voter should go to find the information they need to make an informed decision on September 9.
Moderate Party (Moderaterna):
Centre Party (Centerpartiet):
