In the run-up to the meeting of Switzerland's most popular party, the healthcare reform sparked an internal dispute. In the National Council and the Council of States, the majority of SVP parliamentarians had approved the proposal for uniform financing of all outpatient and inpatient healthcare services (Efas).
In the meantime, six cantonal health directors with SVP party membership have written an open letter advocating a "yes" vote on the health reform. A trade union committee had launched a referendum against the bill.
The decision on the slogan is one of the last items on the agenda of the SVP assembly after the lunch break. Prior to this, the delegates will adopt their slogans on the three other proposals from November 24 that are undisputed within the party. These are the expansion of the highway and reforms to tenancy law.
The program also includes a speech by party president and National Councillor Marcel Dettling on the "State of Switzerland".
