If we went into this process, we would have none of it never happened except through effective voting. We would, at best for us a case with only 173 votes in the hall would come out, persuading the audience, to bring the reform on the second reading, in Committee and in the worst case, the law would be rejected. And all we did 6 months went down the drain,” – said the MP.

Moreover, to define this day as a day of health reform, to go in the morning and non-stop from 10 in the morning to work. Because there many members, the temptation to put each of the 886 amendments to the confirmation, thereby to kill the law,” concluded Berezenko.
