The bill passed just a day after the cabinet had approved it.<br \/>\nAkel tabled an amendment of its own, that would have extended state funding of the organisation\u2019s deficits by two years. The amendment was defeated.<br \/>\nEarlier this week, the government said it had decided to keep covering Okypy\u2019s deficits to secure the \u201cpublic interest\u201d, given that the organisation is a core provider within the national health system, or Gesy.<br \/>\nOkypy also got a pass because, as government officials put it, the organisation had taken a hit to its normal functioning during the Covid-19 pandemic.<br \/>\nUnder the rules of Gesy, state-run healthcare providers ought to have been financially self-sufficient by now, requiring no cash injections from the state.<br \/>\nOn the House floor, Disy MPs \u2013 who voted for the funding extension \u2013 took the opportunity to wave off accusations that their party is intent on privatising public healthcare.<br \/>\nThey said their track record proves that Disy does not oppose Gesy, but rather supports it and wants the system to succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House plenum approved
