Rivlin urges gov't to nix healthcare cuts

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin urged the government to cancel the planned cut in health services, saying it was "the final line of defense and mustn’t be harmed" by the planned government cuts.

Rivlin stressed that "Cutting back on health services won't save the Israeli economy. There are other, less harmful, alternatives for cuts." (Carmit Reuven, Moran Azulay)
