If he thinks this will “boost” the economy then he’s in for a rude awakening, this will cause the overcrowded doctors offices to be even more crowded.
He and the green party are the main culprits for why the economy is stagnating and the longer he’s in office the worse it will get.
I wonder if the main idea was to include something so stupid that it would act like a lightning rod for the news coverage, so that this ends up in the headline instead of their real goals like raising the pension age. Then later they can walk this back and say they listened to the people, while the proposal to tie the pension age to life expectancy will still go through.
