The VVD, D66, SGP, CU and JA21 have all said they want a freeze on adding new treatments to the basic healthcare package, which is determined by the government. Critics say this would lead to patients being denied new treatments which could, for example, cure their cancer or other chronic illnesses.

Kinda sounds like they are about letting people die without insurance, and given enough time in power would build further on these policies. Your baseline intolerance for healthcare cuts may be higher, but make no mistake they want to take it away from you.
