"Mr President, the road to hell is paved with glittering promises, and one does not need to be a professor to foresee the result of this proposal in its current form. On the one hand there will be an ‘A team’ consisting of the wealthy, the well educated and those with the right connections – generally speaking, all of us in this Chamber. We are to be able to jump the waiting list in our home country and seek out the best experts in the EU – as we can afford to spend money on treatment, and we can afford the travel and other additional costs. On the other hand there will be the poor and underprivileged. They are allowed to join the back of the queue and, when it finally comes to their turn, they obtain the treatment that we, the richest, did not want. On special occasions, the EU presents itself as an alternative to the United States, but the point is that the EU is increasingly resembling the United States – including in the health field. Our group supports free and equal access to the treatment people need, so we reject this proposal."@en1
