WARSAW - Poland’s ruling nationalists promised on Saturday to raise funding of the health service, another hefty spending pledge in an election campaign where they have sought to position themselves as champions of the welfare state.

“There must be a health service that is universally available and at the same time, which I want to stress forcefully, public,” PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski told a party convention. The party also pledged to build a new oncology center, offer a package of medical check-ups for every Pole, improve care for senior citizens and create a fund for modernizing hospitals.

Earlier in the year, the party announced increased spending on child benefits and transport infrastructure as well as a package of tax cuts.

Conservative societies may take a liberal view & chose not to interfere in people's sexual choices, at the same time, they mayn't like it to be rubbed in their face either. If they are anything like the T and Q establishment, I understand. Sounds like how the American left behaves. They believe anyone who doesn't want 75% of their income confiscated by the state is a nazi.
