Healthcare & welfare
The state should take over primary responsibility for healthcare from the regions.
Today 21 regions run Swedish healthcare; queues and unequal access have made governance itself a 2026 election issue.
Of the 8 Riksdag parties, 3 broadly agree and 5 broadly disagree.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme
Vänsterpartiet on WelfareArguments
Common arguments on each side, written without party attribution.
For
- Care should be equal across the country, not depend on which region you live in.
- One principal can plan staffing, IT, and preparedness nationally.
- Twenty-one parallel administrations duplicate costs that could go to care.
Against
- A giant reorganisation risks consuming years and billions without shortening a single queue.
- Centralised control moves decisions further from patients and local conditions.
- The shortages are staff and beds — ownership changes fix neither.
More on Healthcare & welfare
- Healthcare should be funded entirely by the state, with no private alternatives.
- The retirement age should rise in step with life expectancy.
- Rent regulation (hyresreglering) should be loosened to allow more market-driven rents.
- Profits in publicly funded elderly care should be capped.
- Universal child benefit (barnbidrag) should be raised significantly.
- Dental care should be fully integrated into the regular healthcare system.
