The bill, a key piece of social welfare policy for the Ismail cabinet, passed with minimal opposition, with most MPs objecting to the 15-year timeline to fully implement the act nationwide. Rady told the committee at a hearing yesterday that actuarial studies for the bill had projected that implementing the plan on a shorter timeline would lead to financial ruin. We assume that the bill will soon reach a plenary session of the House for a vote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financing and implications for business: <\/strong>As <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/13\/counting-the-cost-of-the-universal-healthcare-act\/\">we noted last week<\/a>, the bill, which will be managed by three regulators, would impose premiums for employers of 4% of each employee\u2019s monthly salary, while employees will pay premiums of only 1% of their salary into the system. It will be partly funded through these premiums a<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/11\/16\/universal-healthcare-act-will-impose-fees-on-healthcare-pharma-sectors\/\">s well as fees imposed on private sector healthcare operators<\/a> and a 10% sin tax on tobacco sales. The government has also been talking about rolling into the bill a mechanism of imposing price caps on private healthcare providers; prices are expected to be set early next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Absentee MPs delay voting on key legislation, again:<\/strong> Unconcerned that there is a country to be governed, absentee MPs have caused votes on notable bills in plenary sessions of the House to be delayed \u2014 the most important of these being the <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/64\/281784\/Egypt\/Politics-\/Egypts-parliament-postpones-vote-on-youth-centres-.aspx\">Youth Institutions Act<\/a>, which bans political activity in public youth clubs; the ban on drones; and most importantly, the controversial Labor Unions Act, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahram.org.eg\/News\/202466\/25\/623625\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89\/%D8%B1%D8%BA%D9%85-%D9%88%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%82%D9%88%D8%A8%D8%A9-%D8%A5%D9%84%D9%89-%D8%A5%D8%B3%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B7-%D8%B9%D8%B6%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86---%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%84%D9%85.aspx\">Al Ahram reports<\/a>.
