I think after the recent study by Deloitte and the officer in charge of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), we have completed a National Social Health Insurance Cabinet memorandum, which is being discussed by Treasury, because the Treasury must sign it. I hope that Treasury is going to do this very quickly so that the Cabinet can pass the Social Health Insurance Fund Cabinet Memorandum, and then we will bring a Bill to the House to amend the NHIF Act and transform the NHIF into a social health insurance fund."}
