건강보험공단은 상고 없이 이 판결을 받아들여 동성결합 건강보험 피부양자 자격을 인정해야 합니다. 보편적 건강보장의 의미를 이해한다면 법원의 혁신적 판결이 승인한 사회보장의 원리를 지지하지는 못할 망정 발목을 잡아서는 안 되겠죠.

언제 아플지 모를 사람들의 부담을 함께 나누어지자는 사회연대의 원칙은 국민건강보험의 존재 기반입니다. 차별과 배제, 이성애정상가족규정의 폭력을 넘어서는 보편적 건강보장이 건보공단의 주요 업무이구요.

How death is managed today:
• Alienates communities
• Pushes families in countries without #UHC into poverty
• Deprioritises efforts to reduce suffering, such as #PalliativeCare
• Diverts resources
• Is costly for health services

Importance of appreciating all unique contexts - homelessness, paediatric care, care of older people. Legal aspects of #palliativecare #21OPCC
International panel very strong on not "othering" - we can all learn from each other in a global community. COVID-19 has made that even clearer. Yes!! Well done international panel team. You rock :) @OdetteSpruyt @ntizimira @kpettus @APHPCN Dr Ghauri, Dr Malama #21OPCC
Robert Yates of @ChathamHouse and @LSHTM comes to us from a sunny London! We are so lucky to have him chat to us about how palliative care can get a "decent crack of the whip" on universal health reforms. #21OPCC
@ChathamHouse @LSHTM "This is an opportunity for radical change. We should be prepared and get organised." But what is Universal Health Coverage? Important to nail down the definition. #21OPCC Simple definition here 👇
@ChathamHouse @LSHTM But the longer definition makes it clear that palliative care is part of the continuum. Wherever you see UHC, we must insist on palliative care not being crowded out by curative services. #21OPCC

Hi @FCDOGovUK @10DowningStreet, there appears to be something missing from your #IntegratedReview, did you forget something?
PM spinning that he'll use the review to make a 'personal commitment' to restoring the 0.7% aid target doesn't cut it. The wording of the #IntegratedReview says it'll return 'when fiscal situation allows' - not a firm commitment, another promise to be broken
Even if he were to be believed, that's still a year at 0.5%. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost. Aid to Yemen and Syria cut by nearly 2/3.
It's not a necessary cut, and in any case it comes as they announce increasing spending on *more* nuclear weapons. #IntegratedReview

The journey towards #UHC has not been without hitches. This necessitated the establishment of an all inclusive mandatory health scheme to bridge the gap
The objective of the scheme is to reduce out of pocket spend, thereby protecting the population against the financial risks
