No

“NNU supports expanding dental and optical assistance for low-income citizens, but we cannot support removing all financial responsibility for non-citizens receiving emergency care. Northsea’s healthcare system must put its own people first while maintaining necessary public-health protections.”

The Northsea Rally
Voted Jan. 7, 2024
No

“We do not agree on this radical immigration funding which the people are clearly against. Priority to our people. As for dental and optics options, we do support low earners so we urge you to update your proposition so that we can vote Yes next time.”
