Articles that passed included those setting up the three regulators which will monitor implementing the new healthcare system. Debate of the law had been contentious, particularly over how to classify those exempt from paying premiums into the new healthcare system and who gets to classify them. Finance Minister Amr El Garhy, who attended the session, said that the executive regulations of the law would determine who would be exempt \u2014 effectively leaving it in the hands of the government, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/357356\/19\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%8A-%D9%8A%D9%86%D9%87%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%84-%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%81-%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A8%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%A3%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D8%AD%D9%8A\">Al Mal reports<\/a>. The plenary session, however, voted to keep amendments to the law which state that a committee made up of Finance Ministry, the Social Solidarity Ministry, and the state statistics agency CAPMAS would draw up criteria for exemption. A number of MPs, including from the Free Egyptians party, had voiced opposition to only allowing the Finance Ministry to determine the criteria, while the House Health Committee had recommended tying the exemption with the person\u2019s social security and welfare status, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/357358\/19\/%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84-%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%81%D8%B6-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%81-%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A8%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%A3%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D8%AD%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF-\">the newspaper says<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The House Health Committee had proposed that an independent committee be set up to monitor implementation the act on an ongoing basis<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Story\/357339\/19\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%8A%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%81%D9%82-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%A3%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D8%AD%D9%8A-%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%A7\">Al Mal reports<\/a>.
